4

Check wire harness.

CHECK:
For the connector (on the airbag sensor assembly side) be-
tween the front airbag sensor (RH) and the airbag sensor as-
sembly, measure the resistance between +SR and –SR.
OK:

Resistance: 1 MΩ or Higher

NG

Go to step 10.

OK

5

Check wire harness.

PREPARATION:
Using a service wire, connect +SR and –SR of the connector
(on the front airbag sensor (RH) side) between the airbag sen-
sor assembly and the front airbag sensor (RH).
CHECK:
For the connector (on the airbag sensor assembly side) be-
tween the front airbag sensor (RH) and the airbag sensor as-
sembly, measure the resistance between +SR and –SR.
OK:

Resistance: Below 1 Ω

NG

Go to step 11.

OK

CHECK:
For the connector of the front airbag sensor (RH), measure the
resistance between +SR and –SR.
OK:

Resistance: 300 – 1500 Ω

7

Check airbag sensor assembly.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

(b)

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

(c)

Connect the front airbag sensor (RH) connector and air-
bag sensor assembly connector.

(d)

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 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 B1156/B1157/15 is not output.

HINT:
Codes other than code B1156/B1157/15 may be output at this
time, but they are not relevant to this check.

NG

Replace airbag sensor assembly.

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.

8

Check engine room No. 2 wire harness (to B+).

PREPARATION:
Disconnect the engine room No. 2 wire harness connector on
the airbag sensor assembly side.
CHECK:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b)

For the connector (on the RH front door wire harness
side) between the airbag sensor assembly and the en-
gine room No. 2 wire harness, measure the voltage be-
tween body ground and each of +SR and –SR.

OK:

Voltage: Below 1 V

NG

Repair or replace engine room No. 2 wire har-
ness.

OK

Repair or replace harness or connector between airbag sensor assembly and engine room No.
2 wire harness.

9

Check engine room No. 2 wire harness (to ground).

PREPARATION:
Disconnect the engine room No. 2 wire harness connector on
the airbag sensor assembly side.
CHECK:
For the connector (on the engine room No. 2 wire harness side)
between the airbag sensor assembly and the engine room No.
2 wire harness, measure the resistance between body ground
and each of +SR and –SR.
OK:

Resistance: 1 MΩ or Higher

NG

Repair or replace engine room No. 2 wire har-
ness.

OK

Repair or replace harness or connector between airbag sensor assembly and engine room No.
2 wire harness.
