If the DTC is displayed without a DTC check procedure, perform the following
troubleshooting.

1

Check resistance between terminal Tc of airbag sensor assembly and body
ground.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

(b)

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

(c)

Disconnect the airbag sensor assembly connector.

CHECK:
Check resistance between terminal Tc of the airbag sensor as-
sembly connector and body ground.
OK:

Resistance: 1 MΩ or Higher

NG

Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

Replace airbag sensor assembly.
