AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTIC)
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
I: DTC 25
DIAGNOSIS:
 Airbag control module is faulty.
 Airbag main harness circuit is open.
 Fuse No. 6 (in joint box) is blown.
 Body harness circuit is open.
CAUTION:
 Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the
ground cable from battery, and wait more than 20 seconds before starting to work.
 After replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module or sensor,
reconnect each part and confirm that the airbag warning light operates properly.
 When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the driver’s airbag module and passenger’s

are provided with memory functions, record the
memory contents before disconnecting the
ground cable from battery. Otherwise, these
contents are cancelled upon disconnection.
 Reassemble parts in the reverse order of
disassembly procedure unless otherwise
indicated.
