Scheme 20: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
  1. CHECK DLC3 Check the DLC3. Refer to «GENERAL INFORMATION»(ref-400649-S41373024542011051800000) .
  2. FUNCTION OF PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR Initial check Turn the engine switch on (IG). The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("ON" and "OFF") comes on for approximately 4 seconds, then goes off for approximately 2 seconds. Approximately 6 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG), the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator will indicate ON or OFF depending on the conditions listed below. Front Passenger Seat Condition Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Indicator SRS Warning Light ON Indicator OFF Indicator Vacant OFF OFF OFF Adult is seated. ON OFF OFF Child is seated. OFF ON OFF Child restraint system is set. OFF ON OFF Occupant classification system failure OFF ON ON HINT: The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator illuminates based on the timing chart below in order to check the indicator light circuit. When the occupant classification system has trouble, both the SRS warning light and passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("OFF") come on. In this case, check the DTCs in the airbag system first.
  3. CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR Turn the engine switch on (IG). Check that the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("ON" and "OFF") comes on for approximately 4 seconds, then goes off for approximately 2 seconds. HINT: Refer to the table in previous step regarding the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator when the engine switch is turned on (IG) and approximately 6 seconds pass.

DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. DTC CHECK Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Occupant Detection / Trouble Codes. Check the DTCs by following the prompts on the Techstream screen. HINT: Refer to the Techstream operator's service information for further details.
  2. DTC CLEAR Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Occupant Detection / Trouble Codes. Clear the DTCs by following the prompts on the Techstream screen. HINT: Refer to the Techstream operator's service information for further details.

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

  1. DATA LIST HINT: Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not. Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Occupant Detection / Data List. Check the values by referring to the table below.
