1. DTC CHECK (USING SST CHECK WIRE)
CG
(a) Check the DTCs (Present trouble code).
(1) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 approximately 60 seconds.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the
9 10 111213 141516 DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
TC A082779E07
NOTICE:
Connect the terminals to the correct
positions to avoid a malfunction.
(b) Check the DTCs (Past trouble code).
(1) Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the
DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
NOTICE:
Connect the terminals to the correct
positions to avoid a malfunction.
(2) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for
approximately 60 seconds.
(c) Read the DTCs.
Normal System Code (without Past Trouble Code): (1) Read the blinking patterns of the DTCs. As
0.25 sec. examples, the blinking patterns for the normal
system code and trouble codes 11 and 31 are
ON shown in the illustration.
• Normal system code indication (without past
OFF trouble code)
The light blinks twice per second.
0.25 sec.
• Normal system code indication (with past
Normal System Code (with Past Trouble Code):
trouble code)
0.75 sec.
When the past trouble code is stored in the
center airbag sensor assembly, the light
ON
blinks only once per second.
• Trouble code indication
OFF The first blinks indicates the first DTC. The
0.25 sec. second blinks occurs after a 1.5-second
Trouble Code (Example Codes 11 and 31): pause.
0.5 sec. 2.5 sec. 4.0 sec. If there are more than 1 code, there will be a 2.5-
second pause between each code. After all
ON codes are shown, there will be a 4.0-second
OFF pause, and then they will all be repeated.
HINT:
1.5 sec. 0.5 sec.
Repeat • If 2 or more malfunctions are found, the
DTC 11 DTC 31 indication begins with the smaller numbered
code.
• If DTCs are indicated without connecting the
H013050E17
terminals, proceed to "Diagnosis Circuit" (See
page RS-230).

2. DTC CLEAR (USING SST CHECK WIRE)

(a) Clear the DTCs.
(1) When the power switch is turned off, the DTCs
are cleared.
HINT:
Depending on the DTC, the code may not be
cleared by turning off the power switch. In this
case, proceed to the next procedure.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the
DLC3, and then turn the power switch on (IG).
SST 09843-18040
(3) Disconnect terminal TC of the DLC3 within 3 to
10 seconds after the DTCs are output, and
check if the SRS warning light comes on after 3
seconds.
(4) Within 2 to 4 seconds after the SRS warning
light comes on, connect terminals TC and CG of
the DLC3.
(5) The SRS warning light should go off within 2 to 4
seconds after connecting terminals TC and CG
of the DLC3. Then, disconnect terminal TC
within 2 to 4 seconds after the SRS warning light
goes off.
(6) The SRS warning light comes on again within 2
to 4 seconds after disconnecting terminal TC.
Then, reconnect terminals TC and CG within 2
to 4 seconds after the SRS warning light comes
on.

(7) Check if the SRS warning light goes off within 2

to 4 seconds after connecting terminals TC and
CG of the DLC3. Also check if the normal
system code is output within 1 second after the
SRS warning light goes off.
If DTCs are not cleared, repeat this procedure
until the codes are cleared.

3. DTC CHECK
(a) Check the DTCs.
(1) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(3) Check the DTCs by following the prompts on the
tester screen.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
(b) Clear the DTCs.
(1) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(3) Clear the DTCs by following the prompts on the
DLC3 tester screen.

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE

1. CHECK MODE (SIGNAL CHECK): DTC CHECK
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(c) Select "SIGNAL CHECK", and proceed with
checking using the intelligent tester.
NOTICE:
Select "SIGNAL CHECK" from the "DTC
CHECK" screen displayed on the intelligent
tester to clear the output DTCs (both present
and past).
HINT:
DLC3 • DTCs can be detected more sensitively in check
Intelligent Tester mode than in normal diagnosis mode.
C131977E01
• Perform check mode inspection when a
malfunction in each squib circuit is suspected
even after the normal system code is output
through normal diagnosis mode inspection.
