DESCRIPTION

The driver side knee airbag squib circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly and lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

The airbag sensor assembly uses this circuit to deploy the airbag when deployment conditions are met.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the driver side knee airbag squib circuit.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the power switch off.

*1	Lower No. 1 Instrument Panel Airbag Assembly
*2	Airbag Sensor Assembly
*3	Instrument Panel Wire

(b) 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.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly and airbag sensor assembly.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

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

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly and airbag sensor assembly.

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

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

(f) Check that the instrument panel wire connector (on the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly side) is not loose, deformed or damaged.

OK:

The airbag connector locking button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.

(g) Check that the short springs of the activation prevention mechanism of the instrument panel wire connector are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE

2.	CHECK LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

(a) Connect the connector to the airbag sensor assembly.

(to Lower No. 1 Instrument Panel Airbag Assembly)

(b) Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector C.

CAUTION:

Never connect a tester to the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly 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 it.
Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST: 09843-18061

(d) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs

(f) Turn the power switch off.

(g) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes

OK:

DTC B1860, B1861, B1862 or B1863 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTCs B1860, B1861, B1862 and B1863 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the power switch off.

(j) 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.

(k) Disconnect SST from connector C.
