Diag. Code 15\
 \
Open in Front Airbag Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The front airbag sensor detects the deceleration force in a frontal collisi\
on and is located in the front fender
on the left and right sides.
For details of the function of each component, see FUNCTION OF COMPONENT\
S on page AB±5.
Diagnostic code 15 is recorded when an open is detected in the front air\
bag sensor circuit.
NOTICE: The front airbag sensor connector is equipped with an electrical connection \
check mechanism
for the purpose of detecting an open in the front airbag sensor (See page AB±7). This mechanism is
constructed so that when the terminals of the front airbag sensor have been connect\
ed (when the connec-
tor housing lock is in the locked condition), the connection detection \
pin on the wire harness side connects
with the terminals for diagnosis use on the sensor side. If the connector is\
not properly connected, the diag-
nosis system may detect only a malfunction code, even though the airbag syste\
m is functioning normally.
When connecting the front airbag sensor connector, make sure it is connected properly. If diagnostic code
15 is displayed after the front airbag sensor connector has been connect\
ed, check again that it is properly
connected.

Diag. Code 22Airbag Warning Light System Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The airbag warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the airbag system is normal, the airbag warning light lights up for\
approx. 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned from LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the airbag system, the airbag warning light\
lights up to inform the driver of
the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E of the TDCL are connected, the diagnostic code is displayed by t\
he blinking
of the airbag warning light.
The airbag warning light circuit is equipped with an electrical connecti\
on check mechanism which
detects when the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly is not p\
roperly connected.
If the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly is not properly co\
nnected, the airbag warning
light will not light up.
Diagnostic code 22 is recorded when a malfunction occurs in the airbag w\
arning light system.
If an OPEN malfunction occurs in the airbag warning light system, the ai\
rbag warning light does not
light up, so that until the malfunction is repaired, the diagnostic code\
s (including code 22) cannot be
confirmed.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The center airbag sensor assembly consists of a center airbag sensor, safing sensors, ignition control
and drive circuit, diagnosis circuit, etc.
It receives signals from the airbag sensors, judges whether or not the a\
irbag must be activated, and
diagnoses system malfunction.
Diagnostic code 31 is recorded when occurrence of a malfunction in the center airba\
g sensor assembly
is detected.
