Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure
1 Check p squib circuit(airbag sensor assy center – instrument panel passenger airbag assy)

- Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery, and wait at least for 90 seconds.
- disconnect the connectors between the airbag sensor assy center and the instrument panel passenger airbag assy.
- release the airbag activation prevention mechanism of the connector (on the airbag sensor assy center side) between the airbag sensor assy center and the instrument panel passenger airbag assy .
- for the connector (on the instrument panel passenger airbag
assy side) between the airbag sensor assy center
and the instrument panel passenger airbag assy, measure
the resistance between p2+ and p2–.
Ok: resistance: 1 mw or higher


2 Check air bag sensor assy center
Sst 09843–18040

- Connect the connector to the airbag sensor assy center.
- connect the negative (–) terminal cable to the battery, and wait at least for 2 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- clear the dtc stored in memory .
- turn the ignition switch to lock, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- check the dtc .
Ok: dtc b1185/57 is not output.
Hint
: codes other than code b1185/57 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.


3 Check p squib
Sst 09843–18040

- Turn the ignition switch to lock.
- disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery, and wait at least for 90 seconds.
- connect the instrument panel passenger airbag assy connector.
- connect the negative (–) terminal cable to the battery, and wait at least for 2 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- clear the dtc stored in memory .
- turn the ignition switch to lock, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- check the dtc .
Ok: dtc b1185/57 is not output.
Hint
: codes other than code b1185/57 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.

Selecting tire chains
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each
tire size.
Side chain (0.12 in. [3 mm] in
diameter)
Side chain (0.39 in. [10 mm]
in width)
Side chain (1.18 in. [30 mm]
in length)
Cross chain (0.16 in. [4 mm]
in diameter)
Cross chain (0.55 i ...
Inspection procedure
1 Inspect transmission wire(s1)
Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the
transaxle.
measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the
table below.
Standard:
2 Check harness and connector(transmission wire – ecm)
Connect the transmission connec ...
