WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1656 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1656 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

2.	CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

3.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor and front seat inner belt LH.

(b) Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor side and front seat inner belt LH side) are not damaged.

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
O3-2 (LBE+) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
O3-1 (LBE-) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

(d) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
O3-2 (LBE+) - O1-10 (LBE+)	Always	Below 1 Ω
O3-2 (LBE+) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
O3-1 (LBE-) - O1-18 (LBE-)	Always	Below 1 Ω
O3-1 (LBE-) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

REPLACE NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE

5.	CHECK FRONT SEAT INNER BELT LH (SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH)

(a) Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor and front seat inner belt LH.

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(g) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1656 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1656 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

6.	REPLACE FRONT SEAT INNER BELT ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

HINT:

Perform the inspection using parts from a normally functioning vehicle if possible.

7.	CHECK CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR

(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(d) Turn the ignition switch off.

(e) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(f) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1656 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1656 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
