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.

Inspection procedure
Hint:
if dtcs p0115, p0116, p0117, p0118 and p0125 are output
simultaneously, the engine coolant temperature
sensor circuit may be open or short. Perform the troubleshooting of dtc
p0115, p0117 or
p0118 first.
