Distance Control Switch Circuit: Procedure
- INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Remove the steering pad. Refer to COMPONENTS .
- Disconnect the k1 connector from the spiral cable.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition k1-4 (DIST) - k1-6 (ECC) Distance control switch ON Below 2.5 Ω k1-4 (DIST) - k1-6 (ECC) Distance control switch OFF 10 kΩ or higher
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE NOTE:
The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may cause airbag deployment. Be sure to read the article shown in the brackets.
HINT:
- Removal. Refer to REMOVAL
- Installation. Refer to INSTALLATION
- Remove the spiral cable. Refer to COMPONENTS .
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition k1-4 (DIST) - J24-11 (DIST) The spiral cable position is center Below 1 Ω The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the left The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the right k1-6 (ECC) - J24-2 (ECC) The spiral cable position is center Below 1 Ω The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the left The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the right HINT:
The spiral cable makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.
NG → See step 7
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - DISTANCE CONTROL ECU, BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J24-11 (DIST) - J17-16 (MODE) Always Below 1 Ω J24-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher J24-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT DISTANCE CONTROL ECU
- Reconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition J17-16 (MODE) - Body ground Distance control switch ON 0 to 2 V Distance control switch OFF 11 to 14 V
NG → See step 8
OK → See step 5
