Inspection procedure
  1. Check for dtc
Toyota RAV4. Check for dtc

  1. Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
  2. Clear the dtcs (see page rs-49).
  3. Turn the ignition switch off.
  4. Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
  5. Check the dtcs (see page rs-49).
Ok: dtc b1653/35 is not output. Hint:

Dtcs other than dtc b1653/35 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.



  1. Check connection of connector
  2. Turn the ignition switch off.
  3. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
  4. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and the seat position sensor.
Ok: the connectors are properly connected.
