DTC 62

DIAGNOSIS:
- ELR with pretensioner (LH) circuit is open, shorted or shorted to ground.
- Airbag control module is faulty.

CAUTION: Before performing diagnostics on airbag system, turn ignition switch "OFF", disconnect battery ground cable and then wait at least 20 seconds.

5W1: ELR WITH PRETENSIONER INSPECTION
1. Disconnect connector (AB21) from ELR with pretensioner LH side, and connect (AB21) to test harness F connector (1F).
2. Connect airbag resistor to test harness F connector (3F).
3. Connect battery ground cable and then turn ignition switch to ON (engine off). Observe airbag warning light.

CHECK: Does the airbag warning light come on for about 7 seconds, then go out and stay out?

YES: Replace ELR with pretensioner LH side.

NO: Go to step 5W2.

5W2: SIDE AIRBAG HARNESS OPEN CIRCUIT INSPECTION
1. Turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery ground cable and then wait at least 20 seconds.
2. Disconnect side airbag connector LH side (AB19) and (AB20). (Side airbag equipped vehicle)
3. Disconnect connector (AB17) from airbag control module, and connect (AB17) to test harness I or I2 connector (1I).




4. Measure resistance across test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and test harness F connector (3F) terminal.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 ohms?

YES: Go to step 5W3.

NO: Replace side airbag harness.

5W3: SIDE AIRBAG HARNESS OPEN CIRCUIT INSPECTION




Measure resistance across test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and test harness F connector (3F) terminal.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 ohms?

YES: Go to step 5W4.

NO: Replace side airbag harness.

5W4: SIDE AIRBAG HARNESS SHORTED CIRCUIT INSPECTION




Measure resistance between test harness or I2 connector (3I) terminal.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 1 M ohms?

YES: Go to step 5W5.

NO: Replace side airbag harness.

5W5: SIDE AIRBAG HARNESS SHORTED TO GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION




Measure resistance between test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 1 M ohms?

YES: Go to step 5W6.

NO: Replace side airbag harness.

5W6: SIDE AIRBAG HARNESS SHORTED TO GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION




Measure resistance between test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 1 M ohms?

YES: Replace airbag control module.

NO: Replace side airbag harness.
