TSB : Diagnostic Procedure

Details

Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and Yellow-Black wire on spiral cable side of upper spiral cable connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If voltage is less than one volt, go to next step. If voltage more than one volt, go to step 5 . Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait 90 seconds. Reconnect air bag sensor assembly connector C8 (center connector). Connect fused jumper wire between Yellow-Black wire and Yellow wire on spiral cable side of upper spiral cable connector. Connect negative battery cable. Wait at least 2 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear DTCs. See CLEARING CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Retrieve codes. See RETRIEVING CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC 12-B0103 is displayed, replace air bag sensor assembly. If DTC 12-B0103 is not displayed, go to next step. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Reconnect upper spiral cable connector (to driver-side air bag module). Reconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 2 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear DTCs. See CLEARING CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Retrieve codes. See RETRIEVING CODES under DIAGNOSTICS. DTC 12-B0103 is displayed, replace driver-side air bag module. If DTC 12-B0103 is not displayed, go to next step. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect lower spiral cable connector. Measure voltage between ground and Yellow-Black wire on spiral cable side of upper spiral cable connector. If voltage is less than one volt, replace wiring harness between spiral cable and air bag sensor assembly. If voltage is more than one volt, replace spiral cable.
