Connect the connector to the airbag sensor assembly.

(b)

Using a service wire, connect D+ and D– of the connector
(on the spiral cable side) between the spiral cable and the
steering wheel pad.

(c)

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

CHECK:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait at least for 20 se-
conds.

(b)

Clear the DTC stored in memory (See step 5 on page
DI–305).

(c)

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at least for 20
seconds.

(d)

Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait at least for 20 se-
conds.

(e)

Check the DTC (See page DI–305).

OK:

DTC B0103/12 is not output.

HINT:
Codes other than code B0103/12 may be output at this time, but
they are not relevant to this check.

NG

Replace airbag sensor assembly.

Check D squib.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

(b)

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

(c)

conds.

(b)

Clear the DTC stored in memory (See step 5 on page
DI–305).

(c)

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at least for 20
seconds.

(d)

Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait at least for 20 se-
conds.

(e)

Check the DTC (See page DI–305).

OK:

DTC B0103/12 is not output.

HINT:
Codes other than code B0103/12 may be output at this time, but
they are not relevant to this check.

NG

Replace steering wheel pad.

OK

From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check. If the malfunctioning part can not be
detected by the simulation method, replace all SRS components including the wire harness.

5

Check spiral cable.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

(b)

Disconnect the connector between the airbag sensor as-
sembly and the spiral cable.

CHECK:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b)

spiral cable and the steering wheel pad, measure the volt-
age between D+ and body ground.

OK:

Voltage: 0 V

NG

Repair or replace spiral cable.

OK

6

Check harness between airbag sensor assembly and spiral cable.

CHECK:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b)

For the connector (on the spiral cable side) between the
spiral cable and airbag sensor assembly, measure the
voltage between D+ and body ground.

OK:

Voltage: 0 V

NG

Repair or replace harness between airbag sen-
sor assembly and spiral cable.
