1 Check p/t squib(lh) circuit(airbag sensor assy center – front seat outer belt assy lh)

- 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 seat belt pretensioner (lh).
Hint
: make sure that the connector is not damaged (the lock button is not disengaged, or the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged). If the damage is found, replace the wire harness.
- release the airbag activation prevention mechanism of the connector (on the airbag sensor assy center side) between the airbag sensor assy center and the seat belt pretensioner (lh) .
- for the connector (on the seat belt pretensioner side) between
the airbag sensor assy center and the seat belt pretensioner
(lh), measure the resistance between pl+ and
pl–.
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 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 b0135/73 is not output.
