INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Perform the simulation method by selecting the "check mode" (signal check) with the intelligent tester (Click here).
- After selecting the "check mode" (signal check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road (Click here).
1.CHECK STEERING PAD (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB) |
Turn the engine switch off.
![]() |
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Disconnect the connectors from the steering pad.
Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector "E" (orange connector).
- CAUTION:
- Never connect a tester to the steering pad (Driver side squib) for measurement, as the may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.
- NOTICE:
- Do not forcibly insert the SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
- Insert straight the SST into the terminals of the connector.
- SST
