CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) (GSW VOLTAGE)

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

NOTICE:

Turning the ignition switch to ON with the airbag sensor assembly connector disconnected causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing this inspection.

(b) Disconnect the K73 airbag sensor assembly connector.

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

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

K73-25 (GSW) - Body ground

REPLACE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(b) Replace the airbag sensor assembly.
