5CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.
Measure the voltage between connector (2AB)
in the test harness AB and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2AB) No. 1 — chassis ground:
Is the voltage more than 9 V? Replace the airbag
rear harness RH
with body harness.
Replace the occu-
pant detection har-
ness (seat
harness). If defec-
tive is not
improved, replace
the occupant
detection system
(seat cushion &
frame assembly),
and then the air-
bag control mod-
ule in this order.
Step Check Yes No

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
•Front sub sensor harness (RH) circuit is shorted.
•Front sub sensor harness (RH) circuit is open.
•Front sub sensor (RH) is faulty.
•Airbag control module is faulty.
CAUTION:
•Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the
ground terminal from battery, and wait more than 20 seconds before starting to work.
•After replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module and sen-
sor, reconnect each part and confirm that the warning light operates properly.
•When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the airbag module connectors and seat belt

1CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNEC-
TORS.
Check for poor contact of the connectors
between the airbag control module and the
front sub sensor RH.
Is there poor contact? Repair the con-
nector.
Go to step 2.
2CHECK AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS (FRONT
SUB SENSOR HARNESS RH).
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait more than
20 seconds.
2) Remove the instrument panel lower cover
and disconnect the connectors (AB7) and
(AB2).

the passenger's side and disconnect the con-
nectors (AB10) and (AB9).
4) Disconnect the connector (AB6) from air-
bag control module.
5) Connect the connector (1U) in the test har-
ness U to connector (AB6).
6) Disconnect the front sub sensor (RH), and
then connect the connector (1H) in the test
harness H to connector (AB16).
