INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR (RH) CIRCUIT (TO B+)(AIRBAG SENSOR ASSY
CENTER – AIRBAG FRONT RH SENSOR)

(a) Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the bat-
Airbag tery, and wait at least for 90 seconds.
Airbag
Sensor (b) Disconnect the connectors between the airbag front RH
Front RH
Sensor Assy sensor and the airbag sensor assy center.
Center (c) Connect the negative (–) terminal cable to the battery,
and wait at least for 2 seconds.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
+SR (e) For the connector (on the airbag sensor assy center side)
between the airbag front RH sensor and the airbag sen-
sor assy center, measure the voltage between body
ground and each of +SR and –SR.
–SR OK:
Voltage: Below 1 V
