HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated. 2
NOTICE:3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high-humidity condition. Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.ON HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60°C (140°F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU. (1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents. NOTICE:

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Preparation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect negative (-) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least 90 seconds.
(b) Remove steering wheel pad (See page SR-13).
(c) Disconnect connector of front passenger airbag assem-
bly (See page RS-21).
(d) Disconnect connector of airbag sensor assembly
(See page RS-33).
CAUTION:
Store the steering wheel pad with the front surface facing
upward.
2 Check source voltage.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect negative (-) terminal cable to battery.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage at IG2 or ACC on sensor and operate electric
system. (defogger, wiper, headlight, heater blower, etc.)
OK:
Voltage: 10 - 14 V
NG Check the harness between battery and airbag
sensor assembly, check the battery and charg-
ing system.
OK

3 Does SRS warning light turn off?
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Connect steering wheel pad connector.
(c) Connect front passenger airbag assembly connector.
(d) Connect airbag sensor assembly connector.
(e) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Operate electric system checked in defogger, wiper, headlight,
heater blower, etc. and check that SRS warning light goes off.
NO Check for DTCs. If a DTC is output, perform trou-
bleshooting for the DTC. If a normal code is out-
put, replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES
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.

INSPECTION
1. w/ Timer:
INSPECT DEFOGGER SWITCH CONTINUITY
Check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 3.
If continuity is not as specified, check the bulb.
2. INSPECT DEFOGGER TIMER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 4.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
6 through a 3.4 W tester bulb.
(c) Push the defogger switch ON, check that the indicator
light and test bulb light up for 12 to 18 minutes, then the
indicator light and test bulb lights go out.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
3. INSPECT DEFOGGER TIMER CIRCUIT
Disconnect the connector from the switch and inspect the con-
nector on the wire harness side, as shown in the chart.
