DTC 9-6: Faulty Left Front lmpact Sensor
Special Tools Required. SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A. SRS simulator lead H 07YM-S3AA100
1. Erase the DTC memory (see page 23-26).
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), and check that the
SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and
then goes off.
Does the SRS indicator stay on?
YES-Go to step 3.
NO Intermiftent failure, system is OK at this time.
Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see
page 23-26).
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Check the
connections between SRS unit connector A (18P)
and the SRS unit. between the engine
compartment wire harness 2P connector and the
left front impact sensor {see page 23-13), and at
connector C401.
Are the connections OK?
YES Go to step 4.
NO-Repair the poor connections and retest. lf DTC
9-6 is still present, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the
battery negative cable. and wait for 3 minutes.
Disconnect the driver's airbag 4P connector from
the cable reel (see step 2 on page 23-21).
Disconnect the front passenger's airbag 4P
connector from dashboard wire harness B {see step
