Step

Inspection

Action

1

WARNING:

• Handling the component parts improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts, 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 [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

• Switch the ignition off.

• Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Verify that the driver-side crash zone sensor is correctly installed.

  (See CRASH ZONE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

• Is the driver-side crash zone sensor correctly installed?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Correctly install the driver-side crash zone sensor.

(See CRASH ZONE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

Then go to the next step.

2

• Switch the ignition off.

• Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Remove the front bumper.

  (See FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL.)

• Disconnect the driver-side crash zone sensor connector.

  (See CRASH ZONE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

• Inspect the driver-side crash zone sensor connector. (Corrosion, damage, and disconnected pins)

• Is there any malfunction of the driver-side crash zone sensor connector?

Yes

Replace the malfunction part, then go to step 6.

No

Go to the next step.

3

• Remove the column cover.

  (See COLUMN COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

• Disconnect the clock spring connector.

  (See CLOCK SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

• Remove the passenger-side lower panel.

  (See PASSENGER-SIDE LOWER PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

• Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector.

  (See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

• Disconnect the driver and passenger-side seat connectors.

  (See SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

• Remove the back trim.

  (See BACK TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

• Disconnect the driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors.

  (See SEAT BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

• Disconnect the all SAS control module connectors.

  (See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

• Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:

• SAS control module terminal 2Q

• SAS control module terminal 2O

NOTE:

• Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and driver-side crash zone sensor.

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between SAS control module terminal and driver-side crash zone sensor terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

• Replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 6.

No

Go to the next step.

4

• Driver-side crash zone sensor and SAS control module connectors are disconnected.

• Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

• Driver-side crash zone sensor terminal A???SAS control module terminal 2Q

• Driver-side crash zone sensor terminal B???SAS control module terminal 2O

NOTE:

• Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and driver-side crash zone sensor.

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between SAS control module terminal and driver-side crash zone sensor terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

• Replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 6.

5

• Driver-side crash zone sensor and SAS control module connectors are disconnected.

• Connect the negative battery cable.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

• Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

• SAS control module terminal 2Q

• SAS control module terminal 2O

NOTE:

• Measure the voltage while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and driver-side crash zone sensor.

• Is the voltage 0 V?

Yes

Replace the driver-side crash zone sensor, then go to the next step.

(See CRASH ZONE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between SAS control module terminal and driver-side crash zone sensor terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.

• Replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to the next step.

6

• Switch the ignition off.

• Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Connect the SAS control module connectors.

• Reconnect all disconnected connectors.

• Connect the negative battery cable.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

• Clear the DTC for the SAS control module using the M-MDS.

  (See CLEARING DTC [SAS CONTROL MODULE (STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM)].)

• Perform the DTC inspection for the SAS control module using the M-MDS.

  (See DTC INSPECTION [SAS CONTROL MODULE (STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM)].)

• Are the same DTCs present?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

• If the malfunction recurs, replace the SAS control module.

  (See SAS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

No
