A: CAUTION
Supplemental Restraint System “Airbag”
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the transmission control module (TCM).
CAUTION:
All airbag system wiring harness and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec-
trical test equipment on these circuit.
Be careful not to damage the airbag system wir-
ing harness when performing diagnostics and ser-
vicing the TCM.
Measurement
When measuring the voltage and resistance of
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order to
avoid poor contact. Do not insert the pin more than
0.65 mm (0.256 in).
B: INSPECTION
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: Above 1.260
2. TRANSMISSION GROUND
Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.
