INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1

Prepare for inspection (See step 1 on page DI–431).

2

Check wire harness (to B+).

CHECK:
(a)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b)

For the connector (on the airbag sensor assembly side)
between the front airbag sensor (LH) and the airbag sen-
sor assembly, measure the voltage between body ground
and each of +SL and –SL.

OK:

Voltage: Below 1 V

NG

Repair or replace harness or connector be-
tween front airbag sensor (LH) and airbag sen-
sor assembly.

OK

3

Check wire harness (to ground).

CHECK:
For the connector (on the airbag sensor assembly side) be-
tween the front airbag sensor (LH) and the airbag sensor as-
sembly, measure the resistance between body ground and
each of +SL and –SL.
OK:

Resistance: 1 MΩ or Higher

NG

Repair or replace harness or connector be-
tween front airbag sensor (LH) and airbag sen-
sor assembly.

OK
