10B-18 AIR BAG SYSTEM
Table B :
NOTE:
Upon completion of inspection and repair work, perform following items.
Reconnect all air bag system components, ensure all components are properly mounted.
Repeat AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK to confirm that the trouble has been corrected.
Step Action Yes No
1 1) Set parking brake.
2) Note combination meter when ignition
switch is turned ON.
Does the “BRAKE” indicator (warning lamp)
come ON?Go to step 2.“BLK/BLU” wire, “BLK/
WHT” wire and “IG
METER” fuse (between
ignition switch and combi-
nation meter) open or
short to ground
2 1) With ignition switch OFF, disconnect SDM
connector.
2) Check electrical connection check mecha-
nism.
Is it in good condition?Go to step 3. Repair electrical connec-
tion check mechanism.
3 1) Disconnect SDM connector.
2) Check proper connection to SDM at termi-
nal “Q01-2”.
3) If OK then check voltage from “Q01-2” ter-
minal of SDM connector to body ground
with ignition switch ON.
Is it 8 V or more?Substitute a known-good
SDM and recheck.Go to step 4.
4 1) Remove combination meter. Refer to COM-
BINATION METER in SECTION 8.
2) Check proper connection to combination
meter at “BLU” terminal for “AIR BAG”
warning lamp and to SDM at terminal “Q01-
2”.
3) If OK then check resistance between “BLU”
wire terminal of combination meter connec-
tor (16-pin connector) and “Q01-2” terminal
of SDM connector.
Is circuit short?Go to step 5. Repair high resistance or
open in “BLU” wire circuit
(between combination
meter and SDM).
5 1) Measure voltage from “Q01-2” terminal of
SDM connector to body ground with ignition
switch ON.
Is it 8 V or more?Repair short from “BLU”
wire circuit (between com-
bination meter and SDM)
to power circuit.Go to step 6.
6 1) Remove and inspect “AIR BAG” bulb.
Is bulb good?Substitute a known-good
combination meter and
recheck.Replace bulb.
10B-56 AIR BAG SYSTEM
Repairs and Inspections Required after an Accident
Accident with deployment/activation - component replacement
Certain air bag system components must be replaced. Those components are:
•Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
–Replace with new one.
•Driver and Passenger seat belt pretensioners
–Replace with new one.
•SDM after detecting such collision as to meet deployment conditions
–Replace with new one.
•Forward sensors
–Replace with new one. CAUTION:
All air bag system components, including the electrical harness (component mounting points),
must be inspected after an accident. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced
even if air bag system activation did not occur.
Never use air bag system parts from another vehicle.
Do not attempt to service the parts below. Service of these parts is by replacement only.
–Driver/Passenger air bag (inflator) modules, Driver/Passenger seat belt pretensioners
–Forward sensors
–SDM
–Contact coil and combination switch assembly
–Air bag wire harness
Proper operation of the sensors and air bag system requires that any repairs to the vehicle struc-
ture return it to its original production configuration.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deployment conditions, the SDM must not be
used.
Refer to “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” when checking the SDM.
