

Check the STPS.

NO



Repair or replace the wiring harness between the STPS and the SRSCM.

3. CHECK THE SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR (STPS)

1. Measure current between the terminal 1 of STPS and 30 of SRSCM.

Specification (current): 12-17 mA (Rearward status), 5-7 mA (Forward status)

2. Is the measured current within specification?

YES



Go to next stop.

NO



Replace the STPS.

4. CLEAR THE DTC AND CHECK THE VEHICLE AGAIN

DTC B1388 SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR [DRIVER] OPEN OR SHORT TO BATTERY

DTC DESCRIPTION

The Seat Track Position Sensor (STPS) circuit consists of the SRSCM and STPS. The SRSCM sets above DTC
(s) if it detects open or short to battery line on the STPS circuit. The "Seat Forward" status currently represents a
seat position in which the deployment of the second stage airbag is prohibited.
