K: DTC 27 ODS COMMUNICATION ERROR
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
•Occupant detection control module communication is faulty.
•Airbag rear harness circuit is open, shorted, shorted to ground or shorted to power supply.
•Occupant detection harness (seat harness) is faulty.
•Occupant detection system is faulty.
•Airbag control module is faulty.
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNEC-
TORS.
Check for poor contact of the connectors
between the airbag control module and the
occupant detection control module.
Is there poor contact? Reconnect the
connector. If
defective is not
improved, replace
the airbag rear
harness RH or the
occupant detection
harness (seat har-
ness).
Go to step 2.
2CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait more than
20 seconds.
2) Disconnect the connector (AB18) from air-
bag control module.
3) Disconnect the connectors (AB59) and
(AB61) under the passenger's seat.
4) Connect the connector (1U) in the test har-
ness U to connector (AB18).
5) Connect the connector (1AB) in the test
harness AB to the connector (AB61).
6) Measure the resistance between connector
(3U) in the test harness U and connector (2AB)
in the test harness AB.
Connector & terminal
(3U) No. 2 — (2AB) No. 1:
(3U) No. 4 — (2AB) No. 2:
Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?
Go to step 3.Replace the airbag
rear harness RH
with body harness.
3CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.
Measure the resistance between connector
(3U) in the test harness U and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(3U) No. 2 — Chassis ground:
(3U) No. 2 — (3U) No.4:
Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?
Go to step 4.Replace the airbag
rear harness RH
with the body har-
ness.
4CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between connector
(2AB) in the test harness AB and chassis
ground.
Connector & terminal
(2AB) No. 3 — chassis ground:
Is the voltage more than 9 V? Go to step 5.Check the battery
voltage and fuse. If
there is no faulty,
replace the airbag
rear harness RH
with body harness.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Cruise control can be set, but the cruise indicator light and cruise set indicator light do not illuminate.
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK CRUISE INDICATOR LIGHT AND
CRUISE SET INDICATOR LIGHT.
1) Perform the self-diagnosis of combination
meter. INSPECTION, Combination Meter System.>
2) Check the cruise indicator light and cruise
set indicator light if they illuminate.
Do the cruise indicator light &
cruise set indicator light illumi-
nate?
Go to step 2.Replace the meter
case assembly.
Combination
Meter.>
2CHECK LAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT
ERROR DISPLAY
1) Complete self-diagnosis, and turn the igni-
tion switch to ON again.
2) Check if the communication error is dis-
played on the odo/trip meter in combination
meter.
Is the error code “Er xx” dis-
played on odo/trip meter?
Check the LAN
communication cir-
cuit. LAN(diag)-2, Basic

E: DTC 22 AND 32 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
DIAGNOSIS:
Open or short circuit in vehicle speed sensor system.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Cruise control cannot be set. (Cancelled immediately.)
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the ECM harness connector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between harness con-
nector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B135) No. 19 (+) — Chassis ground (–):
Is the voltage more than 10 V? Check poor con-
tact of ECM con-
nector.
•Check fuse No.
12 (in fuse & relay
box).
•Check the har-
ness for open or
short circuit
between ignition
switch and ECM.
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK ABS WARNING LIGHT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) After the initial operation of combination
meter is completed, check if the VDC warning
light continues to illuminate.
Does the VDC warning light
continue to illuminate?
Check the
VDCCM. VDC(diag)-2,
Basic Diagnostic
Procedure.>
Go to step 2.
2CHECK LAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT
ERROR DISPLAY
Check if the communication error is displayed
on the odo/trip meter in combination meter.
Is the error code «Er xx» dis-
played on odo/trip meter?
Check the LAN
communication cir-
cuit. LAN(diag)-2, Basic

OK: Normal
NG: If the images from the DVD is not displayed, check whether the DVD-ROM is set in the rear entertain-
ment system, whether the correct side is set, type of the DVD-ROM, the existence of any scratches, etc. If
there are no problems on the DVD-ROM, the main body is defective.

C: INSPECTION
NOTE:
•For self diagnosis of the audio system, there is a communications check (communication condition be-
tween the audio and the control panel) and a switch check. Perform a communications check first and make
sure it is operating normally before proceeding to the inspection of switches.
•Complete operations from when the self diagnosis mode of step 1 operates and the buzzer sounds, to
pressing the preset 1 switch in 3., within 15 seconds. If more than 15 seconds pass, a communications error
will be displayed.
•During the diagnosis, do not press the POWER(8), FM(12), AM(14), CD(11), RSE AUX(13) switches.
Pressing these switches will disengage the self diagnosis mode.
