Inspection procedure Hint:
  • Perform the simulation method by selecting the "check mode" (signal check) with the intelligent tester (see page rs-52).
  • 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 (see page rs-52).
  1. Check front seat outer belt assembly rh (front passenger side front pretensioner squib)

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
  3. Disconnect the connectors from the front seat outer belt rh.
  4. Connect the white wire side of sst to connector c.
Caution: Never connect a tester to the front seat outer belt rh (front passenger side front pretensioner squib) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment. Notice:
  • Do not forcibly insert sst into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
  • Insert sst straight into the terminals of the connector.
