- 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

Monitor description
The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is
off. This electricity allows the
ecm store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data, fuel trim values, and
other data. If the battery voltage
falls below a minimum level, the ecm will conclude that there is a fault ...
Correct use of the seat
belts
Extend the shoulder belt so
that it comes fully over the
shoulder, but does not come
into contact with the neck or
slide off the shoulder.
Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and
well back in the seat.
Do not twist ...
