HINT:

To perform the simulation method, enter check mode (signal check) with the Techstream (Click here ), and then wiggle each connector of the airbag system or drive the vehicle on various types of road (Click here ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the power switch off.

*1	Rear Seat Outer Belt Assembly RH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	Floor Wire

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not properly connected, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the rear seat outer belt assembly RH and airbag ECU assembly.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

(f) Check that the floor wire connector (on the rear seat outer belt assembly RH side) is not loose, deformed or damaged.

OK:

The connector locking button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.

(g) Check that the short springs of the activation prevention mechanism of the floor wire connector are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

2.	CHECK REAR SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH

(a) Connect the connector to the airbag ECU assembly.

*1	Rear Seat Outer Belt Assembly RH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	SST
*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Rear Seat Outer Belt Assembly RH)

(b) Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ω) to connector C.

CAUTION:

Never connect the tester to the rear seat outer belt assembly RH for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting SST.
Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST: 09843-18061

(d) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1920, B1921, B1922 and B1923 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the power switch off.

(j) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(k) Disconnect SST from connector C.

DTCs B1920, B1921, B1922 and B1923 are not output
