Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure
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 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 b0135/73 is not output.
Hint
: codes other than code b0135/73 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.


3 Check p/t squib (lh)
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 seat belt pretensioner (lh) 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 b0135/73 is not output.
Hint
: codes other than code b0135/73 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.

Installation with LATCH system
1 Widen the gap between the seat cushion and seatback slightly.
► Type A
2 Latch the hooks of the lower straps onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint
has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether
strap anchor.

Manual shifting test
1. Perform manual shifting test
Hint:
by this test, it can be determined whether the trouble is within
the electrical circuit or is a mechanical problem in the transaxle.
Disconnect the transmission wire connector.
inspect the manual driving operation.
Check that the shift and g ...
Circuit description
When the ignition switch is turned on, battery positive voltage is applied to
the coilwhich closes the contacts
of the efi main relay (marked: efi) and supplies power to terminal +b of the ecm.
This signal causes current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the efi
relay and supplyin ...
