Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure

1 Check p squib circuit(airbag sensor assy center – instrument panel passenger airbag assy)

  1. Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery, and wait at least for 90 seconds.
  2.  disconnect the connectors between the airbag sensor assy center and the instrument panel passenger airbag assy.
  3.  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 .
  4.  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

    On–vehicle inspection
    1. Inspect brake booster Airtightness check.  Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Depress the brake pedal several times slowly. Hint: if the pedal goes down farthest at the 1st time, but gradually rises after the 2nd or 3rd time, the booster is airtight. ...
