DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check, check the circuit listed for that code. For details
of each code, turn to the page referred to under the ”See page” for the respective ”DTC No.” in the DTC chart.
HINT:
Using SST 09843−18020, connect the terminals Tc and E1, and remove the short pin.
If any abnormality is not found when inspect each inspection parts, inspect the ECU.
DTC No.

(d) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Place the disc wheel on level ground.
(1) Connect the SST connector to the steering wheel
pad connector.
SST 09082−00700, 09082−00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, pro-
vide some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc
wheel.
(2) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
steering wheel pad tied down on the disc wheel.
(e) Cover the steering wheel pad with cardboard box or tires.
Covering method using cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 190 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.)
When dimension y of the cardboard box exceeds the
diameter of the disc wheel with tire to which the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied −
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y= 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is used,
the cardboard box will be broken by the shock of the airbag
deployment.
Covering method using tires:
Place at least 3 tires without disc wheel on top of the
disc wheel with tire to which the steering wheel pad
is tied.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions−
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with disc wheels.

2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off−the−car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On−the−car−balance.
Imbalance after adjustment: 13.0 g (0.029 lb) or less
