HINT:

If it is difficult to perform troubleshooting (wire harness inspection), remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see under the seat cushion.
In the above case, lift and hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Hold the seat only as necessary because holding the seat for a long period of time may cause seat rail deformation.

PROCEDURE

CHECK DTC

(a) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
B00C086 and B00C286 are output	A
B00C286 is output	B
B00C286 is not output	C

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B00C086 and B00C286 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

GO TO STEP 7

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

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 airbag ECU assembly, front occupant classification sensor LH and rear occupant classification sensor LH.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

3.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the airbag ECU assembly, front occupant classification sensor LH and rear occupant classification sensor LH.

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

OK:

The terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.
