INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Preliminary CheckINFOID:0000000001754055
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the sonar sensor preliminary check is to confirm that there are no outside factors affecting the
sonar system.
CONDITIONS
• Ignition switch ON
• No obstructions within 3.0 m (10 ft.) of sonar sensors
SONAR SENSOR STATUS CHECK
• Check that the sonar sensors are properly aligned (no deformation in sensor mounting areas).
• Check that snow, mud or other foreign obj ects are not adhering to the sonar sensors.
• Check that there is no deformation, scratc hes or other damage to the sonar sensors.
• Check that water has not accu mulated in the sonar sensors.
CAUTION:
Use water, cotton swab, or other soft material for cleaning the sensors.
1. Check that there are no obstacles wit hin each sonar sensor's detection range.
2. Check that there are no nearby ultrasound sources such as the sounds of vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines or truck air brakes.
3. Check that the vehicle is on a level surface.
Sonar sensors Detection range
Front Approx. 1.0 m (3 ft.) maximum
Rear Approx. 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) maximum

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
SONAR SYSTEM SYMPTOMS
Symptom TableINFOID:0000000001754076
Symptom Repair order
When the sonar system is OFF, the OFF indicator does not light
and the sonar buzzer does not sound. 1. Check sonar system OFF switch. Refer to
SN-19, "
Diagno-
sis Procedure (With Rear Sonar System)" or SN-19, "Diag-
nosis Procedure (With Front and Rear Sonar System)".
2. Check harness and connections for sonar system OFF
switch.
3. Replace sonar control unit. Refer to SN-50, "
Removal and
Installation".
When the sonar system is OFF, the OFF indicator lamp does not
light but the sonar buzzer does sound. 1. Check sonar system OFF switch. Refer to
SN-19, "
Diagno-
sis Procedure (With Rear Sonar System)" or SN-19, "Diag-
nosis Procedure (With Front and Rear Sonar System)".
2. Check harness and connections for sonar system OFF indi- cator lamp.
3. Replace sonar control unit.
When the sonar system is OFF, the sonar buzzer does not sound
but the OFF indicator lamp lights. 1. Check sonar buzzer. Refer to
SN-17, "
Diagnosis Procedure
(With Rear Sonar System)" or SN-17, "Diagnosis Procedure
(With Front and Rear Sonar System)".
2. Check harness and connections between sonar buzzer and sonar control unit.
3. Replace sonar control unit.
When sonar system is ON, the sonar system OFF indicator lamp
lights up and the sonar buzzer sounds intermittently (for about 4
seconds). (Rear sonar system only) 1. Check harnesses between sonar sensors and sonar control
unit for an open condition.
2. Check sonar sensors. Refer to SN-5, "
Preliminary Check".
3. Replace sonar control unit.
The sonar system still operates when the sonar system is OFF. 1. Replace sonar control unit.
When the transmission gear selector lever is in the R position and
the sonar system is ON, the rear sonar system does not operate. 1. Check transmission range switch. Refer to
TM-43, "
Diagno-
sis Procedure".
2. Check back-up lamp relay.
3. Check related harness and connections for back-up lamp re- lay.
4. Replace sonar control unit.
When the transmission gear selector lever is in a forward drive
gear and the sonar system is ON, the front sonar system does not
operate. (With front and rear sonar system only) 1. Check harness and connections between sonar control unit
and combination meter.
2. Replace sonar control unit.
Sonar system OFF indicator lamp lights up and buzzer sounds al-
though there are no obstacles within the detection range. 1. Check sonar sensors.
2. Check harness and connections between sonar sensors
and sonar control unit.
3. Replace sonar control unit.
The sonar sensors do not detect objects in the detectable range. 1. Check sonar sensors.
2. Replace sonar control unit.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000001735293
Occupant Classification System (OCS)INFOID:0000000001735294
The occupant classification system (OCS) identifies different size occupants, out of position occupants, and
detects if child seat is present in the front passenger seat. The OCS receives inputs from the occupant classi-
fication sensor (located inside the passenger seat cushion assembly) and belt tension sensor (part of the pas-
senger front seat belt assembly and located at the belt anchor location). Depending on classification of the
passenger, the OCS sends a signal to the air bag diagnos is sensor unit. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit
uses this signal and the seat belt buckle switch RH signal to determine deployment or non deployment of the
passenger front air bag in the event of a collision. Depending on the signals received, the air bag diagnosis
sensor unit can disable the passenger front air bag completely.
NOTE:
In case of customer concern, CONSULT-III can be used to confirm the passenger air bag status (readiness).

CAUTION:
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circui t related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in
this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be id entified by yellow and/or orange harness con-
nectors.
• Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify SRS wiring harnesses. If a harness is damaged, replace it
with a new one.
• Keep ground connections clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by usi ng “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-III.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal-
function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-III are as follows:
HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a malf unction. It is important to fully understand the symp-
toms or conditions for a customer complaint.
