NO.3 PASSENGER air bag deactivation (pad) INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE

id0803a3800700

3 | passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light does not illuminate
DETECTION CONDITION | Malfunction in passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light circuit (open circuit or short to power supply)
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • SAS control module malfunction • passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light bulb malfunction • Open or short to power supply circuit in wiring harness between passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light and SAS control module • Poor contact at terminals 1U 1X and/or 1W of SAS control module connector • Poor contact in wiring harness between terminal 1X of SAS control module connector and ground • Poor contact or short circuits in wiring harness between METER IG 15 A fuse and SAS control module, between AIR BAG 15 A fuse and SAS control module at the time

## Diagnostic Procedure

• When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while doing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunction. If there is a problem, check to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harness are connected correctly and undamaged.

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | INSPECT PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR LIGHT BULB • Disconnect the negative battery cable. • Remove the center panel module. (See CENTER PANEL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) • Is passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light bulb functional? | Yes | Reinstall it properly, then go to the next step.
No | Replace bulb, then go to Step 5.
*2 | INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR LIGHT AND SAS CONTROL MODULE FOR CONTINUITY Warning • Handling the air bag system components improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag system components. (See SERVICE WARNINGS.) (See SERVICE CAUTIONS.) • Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. • Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. • Remove the column cover. • Disconnect the clock spring connector. • Remove the glove compartment. • Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector. • Disconnect the driver and passenger-side side air bag module connectors. (Vehicles with side air bag) • Disconnect the driver and passenger-side curtain air bag module connectors. (Vehicles with curtain air bag) • Remove the B-pillar lower trims. (Vehicle with pre-tensioner seat belt) • Disconnect the driver- and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors. (Vehicle with pre-tensioner seat belt) • Turn up floor covering. • Disconnect the all SAS control module connectors. • Is there continuity between terminal 1U of SAS control module connector and terminal A of passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace wiring harness, then go to Step 5.
*3 | INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR LIGHT AND SAS CONTROL MODULE FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY • Connect the negative battery cable. • Turn ignition switch to ON position. • Measure voltage at terminal A of passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light connector. • Is voltage approx. 9 V or more? | Yes | Replace wiring harness, then go to Step 5.
No | Go to the next step.
4 | CHECK TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION (PAD) INDICATOR LIGHT OR SAS CONTROL MODULE • Connect the SAS control module connector terminal 1U to ground. • Does passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light illuminate with ignition switch on? | Yes | Replace SAS control module, then go to the next step. (See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Go to the next step.
5 | CONFIRM THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS DO NOT RECUR AFTER REPAIR • Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. • Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. • Connect the all SAS control module connectors. • Connect the driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors. (Vehicles with pre-tensioner seat belt) • Connect the driver and passenger-side curtain air bag module connectors. (Vehicles with curtain air bag) • Connect the driver and passenger-side side air bag module connectors. (Vehicles with side air bag) • Connect the passenger-side air bag module connector. • Connect the clock spring connector. • Connect the negative battery cable. • Turn ignition switch to ON position. • Does passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator light operate properly? | Yes | Complete troubleshooting, then explain repairs to customer.
No | Recheck malfunction symptoms, then repeat from Step 1 if malfunction recurs.
