CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
By connecting terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 or DLC2, the center airbag sensor assembly is set in the diagnos-
tic trouble code output mode. The diagnostic trouble codes are displayed by the blinking of the SRS warning
light.

Check voltage between terminals Tc of DLC1 or DLC2 and body ground.
Measure voltage between terminals Tc of DLC1 or
DLC2 and body ground.
Voltage: Battery positive voltage
Check harness between terminals E1 of DLC1
or DLC2 and body ground.
Check center airbag sensor assembly.
(1) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(2) Disconnect negative (±) terminal cable from the
battery, and wait at least 90 seconds.
(3) Disconnect center airbag sensor assembly con±
nector.
(4) Insert test probe into terminal Tc from back side as
shown.
(5) Connect center airbag sensor assembly con±
nector with check pin.
(6) Connect negative (±) terminal cable to battery.
(7) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON and wait at
least 20 seconds.
(8) Using service wire, connect test probe of termi±
nal Tc to body ground.
Check operation SRS warning light.
SRS warning light comes on.
NOTICE: Never made a mistake with the terminal
connection position as this will cause a malfunc-
tion.
Check harness between center airbag sensor
assembly and DLC1 or DLC2.
Replace center airbag sensor assembly. RS±100

HINT: If the diagnostic trouble code is displayed without a DTC check procedure, perform the following trouble-
shooting.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check resistance between terminal Tc of center airbag sensor assembly
and body ground.
(1) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(2) Disconnect negative (±) terminal cable from the
battery, and wait at least 90 seconds.
(3) Disconnect center airbag sensor assembly con±
nector.
Check resistance between terminal Tc of center airbag
sensor assembly connector and body ground.
Resistance: 1 M or Higher
Replace center airbag sensor assembly.

STEERING KNUCKLE WITH AXLE HUB
REMOVAL
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
INSTALLATION HINT: After installation, check ABS speed
sensor signal and front wheel alignment.
(See page BR±62 and SA±4)
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 103 NVm (1,050 kgfVcm, 96 ftVlbf)
2. REMOVE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER AND DISC
(a) Remove the 2 bolts and brake caliper from the steering
knuckle.

(b) Support the brake caliper securely.
(c) Place matchmarks on the disc and axle hub.
(d) Remove the disc.
3. CHECK BACKLASH IN BEARING SHAFT DIRECTION
Place the dial indicator near the center of the axle hub and
check the backlash in the bearing shaft direction.
Maximum:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If greater than the specified maximum, replace the bearing.
4. CHECK AXLE HUB DEVIATION
Using a dial indicator, check the deviation at the surface of
the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
Maximum:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If greater than the specified maximum, replace the axle hub.
5. DISCONNECT ABS SPEED SENSOR FROM STEERING
KNUCKLE
