CAUTION! 
• Be sure to perform “Air Bag Diagnostic System Check” before starting diagnosis according to flow.
• When measurement of resistance or voltage is required in this flow, use a tester along with a correct terminal adapter from special tool (Connector test adapter kit).
• When a check for proper connection is required, refer to “Inspection of Intermittent and Poor  Connections”.
• If there is open circuit in the air bag wire harnes s, connector or terminal is found damaged, replace 
the wire harness, connector and terminal as an assembly.

Inspection of Intermittent and Poor 
Connections
S7RS0B8204048
Most intermittents are caused by faulty electrical 
connections or wiring. When a check for proper 
connection is requested in a diagnostic flow, perform 
careful check of suspect circuits.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace as a wire 
harness assembly.
• Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully  seated in the connector body (backed out).
• Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must  be clean and free of any foreign material which could 
impede proper terminal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or 
the like is prohibited.
• Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to  moisture and dirt, as well  as not maintaining proper 
terminal orientation with the component or mating 
connector.
• Improperly formed or damaged terminals.  Check each connector terminal in problem circuits 
carefully to ensure good contact tension by using the 
corresponding mating terminal included in the 
connector test adapter kit (special tool).
If contact tension is not e nough, reform the terminal to 
increase contact tension or replace it.
Special tool
(A):  09932-76010 Connector test adapter kit • Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor 
connection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any 
abnormal condition is found, change the wire harness 
assembly or component parts with new ones.
• Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an  intermittent short as the bare area touches other 
wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wire broken inside the insulation. This condition could  cause a continuity check to show a good circuit, but if 
only 1 or 2 strands of a  multi-strand-type wire are 
intact, resistance could be far too high.

Repair and Inspection Required after AccidentS7RS0B8204049
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 side-air bag (inflator)  modules
– Driver / Passenger side curtain-air bag  (inflator) modules
– Driver / Passenger seat belt  pretensioners
–Forward-sensor
– Driver / Passenger side-sensors
–SDM
– Contact coil and combination switch  assembly
– Air bag wire harness in main harness,  instrument panel harness and floor 
harness.
• Proper operation of the sensors and air  bag system requires that any repairs to the 
vehicle structure 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.
 
Accident with Deployment / Activation – Component 
Replacement
When driver and passenger air bags are deployed, the 
following components must be replaced.
• Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
• Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
• SDM after detecting such  collision as to meet 
deployment conditions
• Forward-sensor
• Instrument panel When side-air bag and side curtain-air bag are deployed, 
the following components must be replaced.
• Deployed side-air bag (inflator) module
• Deployed side curtain-air bag (inflator) module
• Side-sensor
•SDM
Accident with or without Deployment / Activation – 
Component Inspections
Certain air bag and restraint system components must 
be inspected after any crash, whether the air bag system 
activated or not. If any faul
ty condition is found in the 
following checks, replace faulty part.
Those components are:
• Steering column (1) and shaft joints 
– Check for length, damage and bend according to “Checking Steering Column for Accident Damage in 
Section 6B”.
• Steering column bracket (2) and capsules – Check for damage and bent.
• Steering wheel and driver air bag (inflator) module – Check for damage or air bag (inflator) module fitness.
– Check trim cover (pad  surface) for cracks.
– Check wire harness and connector for damage or  tightness.

and SDM plate, or it cannot be fixed securely.)
– Check connector or lead wire of SDM for scorching,  melting or damage.
– Check SDM connector and terminals for tightness.
– Check if SDM sets a DTC and is judged as  malfunctioning according to the diagnostic flow. • Air bag wire harness and connections
– Check for damages, deformities or poor connections.
Refer to “Inspection of  Intermittent and Poor 
Connections”.
