DTC 48-1x

DTC 48-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): No Signal from the Right Side Impact Sensor (third)

Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead L 070AZ-SNAA300

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 48-1x indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures If another DTC is indicated, go to the DTC Troubleshooting Index. DTC List - Body Control System

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.
4. Check the connection between the floor wire harness 2P connector and the right side impact sensor (third).

Is the connection OK?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Repair the poor connection and retest. If the DTC 48-1x is still present, go to step 5.




5. Disconnect the floor wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side impact sensor (third).
6. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (16P) from the SRS unit.




7. Check resistance between the No. 9 and No. 10 terminals of SRS unit connector C (16P). There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohm.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Short in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness.




8. Check resistance between the No. 9 terminal of SRS unit connector C (16P) and body ground, and between the No. 10 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohm.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 9.

10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




11. Check for voltage between the No. 9 terminal of SRS unit connector C (16P) and body ground, and between the No. 10 terminal and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.

Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Go to step 12.

NO - Short to power in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness.

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.




13. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector) and the black lead (A) of simulator lead L to the floor wire harness 2P connector (B).




14. Check resistance between the No. 9 and No. 10 terminals of SRS unit connector C (16P). There should be 1.0 ohm or less.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty right side impact sensor (third) or SRS unit; replace the right side impact sensor (third).If the problem is still present,replace the SRS unit.

NO - Open in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness.
