DTC 32-30: Decreased Resistance in Front Passenger's Side Airbag Inflator

Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead E 07XAZ-S1A0200
- SRS short canceller 070AZ-SAA0100

1. Erase the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 32-11 or 32-30 indicated?

4. Disconnect the right floor wire harness 2P connector (A) from the front passenger's side airbag (B).
5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 Ohms connector) and simulator lead E to the right floor wire harness.
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
7. Erase the DTC memory.
8. Read the DTC.
