DETECTION CONDITION
Warning
•  Detection conditions are for understanding the DTC outline before performing an inspection. Performing an inspection according to only the detection conditions may cause injury due to an operating error, or damage the system. When performing an inspection, always follow the inspection procedure.
•  Abnormal resistance (other than 1.4—3.2 ohms) detected in the passenger-side side air bag module circuit
•  Malfunction in the wiring harness between the passenger-side side air bag module and SAS control module
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Passenger-side side air bag module connector malfunction
•  Passenger-side side air bag module malfunction
•  Open circuit or short to ground in the wiring harness between the passenger-side side air bag module and SAS control module
•  Open circuit or power supply short in the wiring harness between the passenger-side side air bag module and SAS control module
•  SAS control module malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

Step

Inspection

Action
1
INSPECT PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG MODULE CONNECTOR
•  Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.
•  Disconnect the passenger-side side air bag module connector installed to the lower side of the seat cushion of the front seat.
•  Is there any malfunction of the passenger-side side air bag module connector?
Yes
Replace the passenger-side side air bag module wiring harness.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
•  Connect the SST (Fuel and thermometer checker) or apply 2-ohm resistance to the passenger-side side air bag module connector terminals A–B.
•  Set the SST (Fuel and thermometer checker) to 2 ohm.
•  Connect the negative battery cable.
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
•  Perform the DTC inspection for the SAS control module using the M-MDS.
•  Are DTCs B1996, B1997, B1998 and/or B1999 displayed?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the passenger-side side air bag module.
(See SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
3
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN SAS CONTROL MODULE AND PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
•  Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.
•  Disconnect the SST (Fuel and thermometer checker) or the 2 ohm resistance.
•  Disconnect all SAS control module connectors.
•  Inspect the wiring harnesses between SAS control module connector terminal 2L and passenger-side side air bag module connector terminal A, and SAS control module connector terminal 2I and passenger-side side air bag module connector terminal B for the following:
―  Short to body ground
―  Open circuit
Note
•  Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and passenger-side side air bag module.
•  Is the wiring harness normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the wiring harness between the SAS control module and the passenger-side side air bag module.
4
INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN THE SAS CONTROL MODULE AND PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG MODULE FOR A SHORT CIRCUIT TO THE POWER SUPPLY
•  Connect the negative battery cable.
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
•  Measure the voltage of SAS control module connector terminals 2L and 2I.
Note
•  Measure the voltage while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and passenger-side side air bag module.
•  Is the voltage measured?
Yes
Replace the wiring harness between the SAS control module and the passenger-side side air bag module.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT DTCs
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.
•  Connect the disconnected connector.
•  Connect the negative battery cable.
•  Clear DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Verify DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is DTC B1996, B1997, B1998 and/or B1999 displayed again?
•  Are there other DTCs output?
Yes
Replace the SAS control module.
(See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
