DTC B1209 - B1211 COLLISION DETECTION
The air bag diagnosis sensor unit will set this DTC if it has detected a collision or rollover which has resulted in
a deployment of one or more air bags or pre-tensioners. If this DTC is detected after a SRS repair, the air bag
diagnosis sensor unit has not yet been replaced. This DTC can not be erased.

"AIR BAG" Warning Lamp Does Not Turn OffINFOID:0000000003775249
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 7
1.CHECK CONDITION OF AIR BAG MODULE
Inspect for any deployed air bag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners.
Are any air bag modules or s eat belt pre-tensioners deployed?
YES >> Refer to SR-20, "For Frontal Collision" or SR-22, "For Side and Rollover Collision".
NO >> GO TO 2
2.CHECK THE AIR BAG FUSE
Check 10A fuse [No. 13, locat ed in the fuse block (J/B)].
Is the fuse blown?
Ye s > > G O T O 3
No >> GO TO 4
3.CHECK AIR BAG FUSE AGAIN
Replace 10A fuse [No. 13, located in the fu se block (J/B)] and turn ignition switch ON.
Does the fuse blow again?
YES >> Replace harness.
NO >> Inspection End.
4.CHECK AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT
Connect CONSULT-III.
Is
“AIR BAG” displayed on CONSULT-III?
YES >> GO TO 5
NO >> Visually inspect the air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connections. If the connections are OK,
replace the air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to SR-17, "
Removal and Installation".
5.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTION
Check for loose connections between the combination meter and the air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
Are there any loose connections?
Yes >> Properly connect the combination meter and air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors. If
“AIR BAG” warning lamp still does not turn off, replace the wiring harness.
No >> Replace air bag diagnosis sensor unit.

CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
 Check installation condition of steering gear assemb ly, front suspension, axle and steering column.
 Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
 Check if the nuts for steering gear assembly are loose. Refer to ST-23, "Removal and Installation"
.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steer ing wheel to the left and right lightly, and measure
steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point where
tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
 Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Front Wheel Alignment".
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if st eering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositi oning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer socket s, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the
opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature of 60 °– 80 °C (140 °– 176 °F).
4. Tires need to be inflated to specified pressure. Refer to WT-45, "Tire"
.
End play of the axial direction for steering wheel : Refer to

Precaution for Power Generation Variable Voltage Control SystemINFOID:0000000003771784
CAUTION:
For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the negative battery cable measures the
charging/discharging current of the battery and performs various engine controls. If an electrical com-
ponent is connected directly to the negative battery terminal, the current flowing through that compo-
nent will not be measured by the battery current sensor. This condition may cause a malfunction of
the engine control system and battery discharge m ay occur. Do not connect an electrical component
or ground wire directly to the battery terminal.
