WIRING DIAGRAM
PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly and front seat inner belt assembly LH.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and front seat inner belt assembly LH.

(e) Check that the terminals of connectors are not damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

OK

1. CHECK FLOOR WIRE (OPEN)

(a) Using SST, connect terminals 10 (LBE+) and 18 (LBE-) of connector B.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

SST: 09843-18040

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
L19-1 (LBE+) - L19-3 (LBE-)	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

OK

1. CHECK FLOOR WIRE (SHORT TO B+)

(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
L19-1 (LBE+) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
L19-3 (LBE-) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

1. CHECK FRONT SEAT INNER BELT ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly and front seat inner belt assembly LH.

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs stored in memory (See page ).

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(g) Check for DTCs (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1656/38 is not output.
