resistance is less than one ohm, no problem detected at this time. If resistance is more than one ohm,
replace harness or connector between air bag sensor and spiral cable.
CODE 31
1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Remove steering wheel pad. See
STEERING WHEEL PAD & SPIRAL CABLE
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect
passenger-side air bag connector, accessible through finish plate inside glove box. See
Fig. 2
. Disconnect
air bag sensor assembly connector.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between terminals IG2 and ACC of air bag sensor
assembly and ground. If voltage is less than 16 Volts, go to next step. If voltage is more than 16 volts,
check battery and charging system.
3. Clear malfunction code. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition
switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Repeat these steps at least 5 times. Using
Diagnosis Wire (09843-18020), connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1. Check DTC. If CODE 31 is
output, replace air bag sensor assembly. If CODE 31 is not output, check for intermittent fault. See
AIR
BAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENT
under DIAGNOSIS.
CODE 54
1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Remove steering wheel pad. See
STEERING WHEEL PAD & SPIRAL CABLE
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect
passenger-side air bag connector, accessible through finish plate inside glove box. See
Fig. 2
. Disconnect
air bag sensor assembly connector.
2. Using a jumper wire, connect P+ and P- of air bag sensor connector. Measure resistance between
terminals of passenger-side air bag connector. If resistance is less than one ohm, go to next step. If
resistance is more than one ohm, replace harness or connector between air bag sensor assembly and
passenger-side air bag assembly.
3. Connect connector to center air bag sensor assembly. Using a jumper wire, connect P+ and P- terminals
(on center air bag sensor assembly side of connector between center air bag sensor assembly) and
passenger-side air bag assembly. Connect negative battery cable and wait 20 seconds. Turn ignition
switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear malfunction codes. Turn ignition switch to
LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait for at least
20 seconds. Using Diagnosis Wire (09843-18020), check for DTC 54. If DTC 54 is output, replace air
bag sensor assembly. If DTC 54 is not output, go to next step.
4. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds.
Connect passenger-side air bag assembly connector. Connect negative battery cable. Wait 2 seconds.
Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear malfunction codes. Turn
ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
Wait at least 20 seconds. Using Diagnosis Wire (09843-18020), check for DTC 54. If DTC 54 is output,
replace passenger-side air bag assembly. If DTC 54 is not output, the malfunction is now normal.
NOTE:
During testing, if codes other than Code 14 are displayed, disregard them.
