Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	INSPECT PAD SWITCH CONNECTOR Warning •  Handling the component parts improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag module, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings/cautions and the workshop manual before handling the air bag system components. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS.) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS.) •  Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. •  Remove the battery cover. •  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].) •  Disconnect the PAD switch connector. •  Inspect the PAD switch connection. (Corrosion, damage, and disconnected pins) •  Is there any malfunction of the PAD switch connector?	Yes	Replace the PAD switch wiring harness.
		No	Go to the next step.
2	INSPECT PAD SWITCH •  Inspect the PAD switch. (See PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) SWITCH INSPECTION.) •  Is the PAD switch normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Replace the PAD switch. (See PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
3	INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PAD SWITCH AND SAS CONTROL MODULE •  Remove the column cover. (See COLUMN COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Disconnect the clock spring connector. (See CLOCK SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Remove the glove compartment. (See GLOVE COMPARTMENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector. (See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Disconnect the driver and passenger-side seat connectors. (See SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Remove the back trim. (See BACK TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Remove the driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors. (See SEAT BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Remove the console panel. (See CONSOLE PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Disconnect the SAS control module connectors. (See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Inspect the wiring harness between SAS control module terminal 1Q and PAD switch terminal D, SAS control module terminal 1H and PAD switch terminal C for the following: ―  Short circuit between terminals ―  Short to body ground ―  Open circuit Note •  Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and PAD switch. •  Is the wiring harness normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Replace the wiring harness between the SAS control module and the PAD switch.
4	INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PAD SWITCH AND BODY GROUND •  Inspect the wiring harness between PAD switch terminal E and body ground for the following: ―  Open circuit Note •  Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and PAD switch. •  Is the wiring harness normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Replace the wiring harness between the PAD switch and body ground.
5	PERFORM SAS CONTROL MODULE DTC INSPECTION •  Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. •  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1min or more. •  Reconnect all disconnected connectors. •  Connect the negative battery cable. •  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. •  Clear the DTC for the SAS control module using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [AIR BAG SYSTEM].) •  Perform the DTC inspection for the SAS control module using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [AIR BAG SYSTEM].) •  Are the same DTCs present?	Yes	Replace the SAS control module. (See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
