DIAGNOSIS: ELR with pretensioner (LH) circuit is shorted to power supply.

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

5Y1: 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.
