Check center airbag sensor assembly.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON and wait at
least 20 seconds.
(2) Clear malfunction code stored in memory. (See
page RS±47)
(3) Turn ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at least
20 seconds.
(4) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at
least 20 seconds.
(5) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of DLC1
and DLC2.

(6) Check diagnostic trouble code.
Diagnostic trouble code 15 is not output.
Codes other than code 15 may be output at this
time, but they are not relevant to this check.
Replace center airbag sensor assembly.
(1) Connect connector to center airbag sensor
assembly.
(2) Using a service wire, connect D
+ and D± on spiral
cable side of connector between spiral cable and
steering wheel pad.
(3) Using a service wire, connect P
+ and P± on center
airbag sensor assembly side of connector be±
tween center airbag sensor assembly and front
passenger airbag assembly.
(4) Connect negative (±) terminal cable to battery, and
wait at least 2 seconds.
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal. To
make sure of this, use the simulation method to check.
