WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When installing the spiral cable and steering wheel, be sure to adjust the spiral cable as it may break if the steering wheel is turned before adjusting the spiral cable (See page ).
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 ).

HINT:

To perform the simulation method, enter check mode (signal check) with the Techstream (See page ), and then wiggle each connector of
the airbag system or drive the vehicle on various types of road (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK STEERING PAD (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB 2ND STEP)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(d) Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ω) to connector E (black connector).

CAUTION:

Never connect the tester to the steering pad (driver side squib 2nd step) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting SST.
Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST: 09843-18061

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

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

(g) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(h) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(j) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1810, B1811, B1812 or B1813 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1810, B1811, B1812 and B1813 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

2.	CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(d) Check that the spiral cable connectors (on the steering pad side) are not damaged.

OK:

The lock button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.

3.	CHECK DRIVER SIDE SQUIB 2ND STEP CIRCUIT

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor.

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
z13-2 (D2+) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
z13-1 (D2-) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

(d) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
z13-2 (D2+) - z13-1 (D2-)	Always	Below 1 Ω

(g) Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B (See page ).

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
z13-2 (D2+) - z13-1 (D2-)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
z13-2 (D2+) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
z13-1 (D2-) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
