•  Wiring harness between the crash zone sensor and SAS control module has a malfunction
•  Crash zone sensor has a malfunction
Fail-safe function
Not applicable
Possible cause
•  Crash zone sensor connector malfunction
•  Short circuit to power supply or body ground in the wiring harness between the crash zone sensor and SAS control module
•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between the crash zone sensor and SAS control module
•  Crash zone sensor malfunction
•  SAS control module malfunction


Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
INSPECT CRASH ZONE SENSOR CONNECTOR
Warning
•  Handling the component parts improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag module, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings/cautions and the workshop manual before handling the air bag system components.
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Remove the front bumper.
•  Disconnect the crash zone sensor connector.
•  Inspect the crash zone sensor connector. (Corrosion, damage, and disconnected pins)
•  Is there any malfunction of the crash zone sensor connector?
Yes
Replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT CRASH ZONE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Remove the column cover.
•  Disconnect the clock spring connector.
•  Remove the glove compartment.
•  Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector.
•  Disconnect the driver and passenger-side front seat connector.
•  Remove the B-pillar lower trim.
•  Disconnect the driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connector.
•  Remove the headliner.
•  Disconnect the driver and passenger-side curtain air bag module connector.
•  Disconnect the all SAS control module connectors.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
―  SAS control module terminal 3O (Type A)/3AB (Type B)
―  SAS control module terminal 3N (Type A)/3X (Type B)
Note
•  Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and crash zone sensor.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between SAS control module terminal and crash zone sensor terminal.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
•  Replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
Go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT CRASH ZONE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Crash zone sensor and SAS control module connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  Crash zone sensor terminal A—SAS control module terminal 3O (Type A)/3AB (Type B)
―  Crash zone sensor terminal B—SAS control module terminal 3N (Type A)/3X (Type B)
Note
•  Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and crash zone sensor.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between SAS control module terminal and crash zone sensor terminal.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 5.
4
INSPECT CRASH ZONE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
•  Crash zone sensor and SAS control module connectors are disconnected.
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
•  Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  SAS control module terminal 3O (Type A)/3AB (Type B)
―  SAS control module terminal 3N (Type A)/3X (Type B)
Note
•  Measure the voltage while shaking the wiring harness between the SAS control module and crash zone sensor.
•  Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes
Replace the crash zone sensor, then go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between SAS control module terminal and crash zone sensor terminal.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
•  Replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.
Go to the next step.
5
PERFORM SAS CONTROL MODULE DTC INSPECTION
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more.
•  Connect the SAS control module connectors.
•  Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
•  Clear the DTC for the SAS control module using the M-MDS.
•  Perform the DTC inspection for the SAS control module using the M-MDS.
•  Are the same DTCs present?
Yes
Replace the SAS control module.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
