AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)

Diagnostic Chart with Trouble Code

AB:DTC 62 BELT PRETENSIONER LH FAILURE

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
• Seat belt pretensioner (LH) circuit is open, shorted or shorted to ground.
• Airbag control module is faulty.
• Pretensioner is faulty.
• Pretensioner harness is faulty.

CAUTION:
• Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
ground cable from battery, and wait more than 20 seconds before starting to work.
• When replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module and sen-
sor, reconnect each part and check that the warning light operates properly.
• When inspecting the airbag rear harness, disconnect the side airbag module connector, curtain
airbag module connector and seat belt pretensioner connector for safety reasons.
