A: DTC 11 DRIVER’S AIRBAG FAILURE

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

• Airbag main harness circuit is shorted to ground.

• Airbag module harness (driver’s side) circuit is shorted to ground.

• Roll connector circuit is shorted to ground.

• Driver’s airbag module is faulty.

• Airbag control module is faulty.
CAUTION:

• Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the

ground cable from battery, and wait 60 seconds or more 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 main harness, disconnect the airbag module connectors of the driver’s

and passenger’s seats for safety.

• When inspecting the airbag rear harness, disconnect the side airbag module connector, curtain

airbag module connector and seat belt pretensioner connector for safety reasons.
NOTE:

Prior to starting work, prepare two AIRBAG RESISTORs (98299PA040).

1

CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNEC-
TORS.
Check for poor contact of the connectors
between the airbag control module and the
driver’s airbag module.

Is there poor contact?

Replace the airbag
harness.
