2.	CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly and airbag ECU assembly.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

NG

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

OK

3.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly airbag ECU assembly.

(b) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged. OK: The terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

*1 Lower No. 1 Instrument Panel Airbag Assembly *2 Airbag ECU Assembly *3 Wire Harness

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

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

(d) Check that the wire harness connector (on the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly side) is not loose, deformed or damaged.

OK:

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

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

4.

CLEAR DTC

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

*1 Lower No. 1 Instrument Panel Airbag Assembly *2 Airbag ECU Assembly *3 Wire Harness *a Front view of wire harness connector (to Lower No. 1 Instrument Panel Airbag Assembly)

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

CAUTION:

Never connect a tester to the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly 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 it.
• Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST: 09843-18061

(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

5.	CHECK LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(b) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
B00041A is not output	A
B00041A is output	B

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B00041A may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(c) Turn the ignition switch off.

(d) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(e) Disconnect SST from connector C.
