DTC 45-1x

DTC 45-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): No Signal From the Left Side Impact Sensor (second)

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

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures and General Troubleshooting Information.

1. Clear the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait for 10 seconds.
3. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 45-11 indicated?

YES - Go to step 4.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

4. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 43-11 also indicated?

YES - Faulty left side impact sensor (second); replace the left side impact sensor (second).

NO - Go to step 5.

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
7. Disconnect the side wire harness 2P connector (A) from the left side impact sensor (second).






8. Disconnect the floor wire harness 4P connector (A) from the left side impact sensor (first).






9. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and the No. 2 terminals of the left side impact sensor (second) 2P connector. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 10.

NO - Short in the side wire harness or floor wire harness; replace the faulty harness.

10. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 terminal of the left side impact sensor (second) 2P connector and body ground, and between the No. 2 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Short to ground in the side wire harness or floor wire harness; replace the faulty harness.

11. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
12. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
13. Measure the voltage between the No. 1 terminal of the left side impact sensor (second) 2P connector and body ground, and between the No. 2 terminal and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.






Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Go to step 14.

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

14. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
15. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector) and the red lead (A) of simulator lead L to the left side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (B).






16. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and the No. 2 terminals of the left side impact sensor (second) 2P connector. There should be 0 - 1.0 ohm.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty left side impact sensor (second) or poor connection at left side impact sensor (second) 2P connector. Check the connection; If the connection is OK, replace the left side impact sensor (second).

NO - Open in the side wire harness or floor wire harness; replace the faulty harness.
