Inspection Procedure
- CHECK DTC OUTPUT
- Delete the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Recheck for DTC.
Result
RESULT REFERENCEResult Proceed to B1243 output reoccurs A B1243 output does not reoccur B
B: USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE )
A: GO TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR - MAIN BODY ECU)
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.NOTE: When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (see INITIALIZATION ).
- Disconnect the L73 sensor connector.
- Disconnect the DA ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
