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.

improved, replace
the airbag rear
harness RH or the
occupant detection
harness (seat har-
ness).
Go to step 2.
2CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.

(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

tem Check} and press the [YES] key.
5) On the «System Selection» display screen, se-
lect the {Engine} and press the [YES] key.
6) Press the [YES] key after the information of en-
gine type is displayed.
7) On the «Cruise Control Diagnosis» display
screen, select the {Current Data Display/Save},
and then press the [YES] key.
8) Make sure that normal display is shown when
operated as follows:
•Depress and release the brake pedal. (Stop light
switch and brake switch turn ON.)
