AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-7
Special Tool (Air Bag Driver/Passenger Load Tool)
(B): 09932-75010
This tool is used only when called for in this section. It is used as
a diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent inadvertent air bag (in-
flator) module deployment and seat belt pretensioner activation.
The load tool has three connectors attached to its case are electri-
cally functional and serve as resistive load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of connectors (ªAº: BASE OF COLUMN) is used to substitute
the load of the driver air bag (inflator) module and the contact coil
assembly when it is connected at the base of the column to the air
bag wire harness.
Another connector (ªBº: STEERING WHEEL) is used to substitute
the load of followings.
Driver air bag (inflator) module when it is connected at the top of
the column to the contact coil assembly.
Passenger air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to the
air bag harness connector for passenger air bag (inflator) module.
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioner when it is connected
to air bag harness connector for driver and passenger seat belt
pretensioner.
The third connector (ªCº: PASSENGER INFLATOR) is not used.
By substituting the resistance of the load tool when called for, a de-
termination can be made as to whether an inflator circuit compo-
nent is causing system malfunction and which component is caus-
ing the malfunction.
The load tool should be used only when specifically called for in the
diagnostic procedures.

NOTE:
When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest numbered code will appear first.
If a code not listed on the table is displayed, then the SDM is faulty.
Current DTC and history DTC can be identified by lighting and flashing of ªAIR BAGº warning lamp as
follows.
Current DTC is set.
(Abnormality exists at present.)History DTC is set only. (Faulty condi-
tion occurred once in the past but nor-
mal condition is restored at present.)

Current DTC is displayed.History DTC is displayed.
However, if a multiple number of DTC's are set an even one of them is a current DTC, ªAIR BAGº warning
lamp remains on after ignition switch is turned ON. Therefore, it is not possible to identify any of them
as to whether it is a current one or a history one. (But use of scan tool (Tech 1) will make identification
possible.)
