DTC 12 Short in Squib Circuit or Front Airbag
Sensor Circuit (to B+)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The squib circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly, spiral cable, steering wheel pad and front passen-
ger airbag assembly. It causes the SRS to deploy when the SRS deployment conditions are satisfied.
The front airbag sensor detects the deceleration force in a frontal collision and is located in the front fender
on the left and right sides.
For details of the function of each components, see page OPERATION on page RS−2.
DTC 12 is recorded when a B+ short is detected in the squib circuit or front airbag sensor circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Preparation (See step 1 on page DI−396)
2 Check D squib circuit (Measure voltage between terminals D+ or D− of center air-
bag sensor assembly connector and body ground.).
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect negative (−) terminal cable to battery.
(b) Turn ignition switch to ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminals D+ or D− of harness side
connector of center airbag sensor assembly and body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 0 V
NG Go to step 5.
OK

3 Check center airbag sensor assembly.
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn ignition switch LOCK.
(b) Disconnect negative (−) terminal cable from battery.
(c) Connect connector to center airbag sensor assembly.
(d) Using a service wire, connect D+ and D− on spiral cable
side of connector between spiral cable and steering
wheel pad.
(e) Connect negative (−) terminal cable to battery, and wait
at least 2 seconds.
CHECK:
(a) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(b) Clear malfunction code stored in memory (See page
DI−365).
(c) Turn ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(d) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(e) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.

(f) Check DTC.
OK:
DTC 12 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than code 12 may be output at this time, but they
are not relevant to this check.
NG Replace center airbag sensor assembly.
OK
