3.

CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

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

CAUTION:

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

NOTICE:

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