Open in Squib Circuit
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
The squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly, spiral cable and the steering wheel pad
(squib). It causes the airbag to deploy when the airbag deployment con\
ditions are satisfied.
For details of the function of each component, see FUNCTION OF COMPONENT\
S on page AB±5.
Diagnostic code 14 is recorded when an open is detected in the squib cir\
cuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(1) Disconnect battery negative (±) terminal cable, and wait at least 20 seconds.
(2) Remove steering wheel pad (See page AB±14).
Measure resistance between D+ and D± on spiral
cable side of connector between spiral cable and
steering wheel pad.
Preparation.
Resistance: Below 1
When storing steering wheel pad, keep upper sur-
face fo the pad facing upward.
Disconnect center airbag sensor assembly connec-
tor.
Check squib circuit.
