DTC15Open 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 COMPONENTS o\
n page RS±10. Diagnostic
trouble code 15 is recorded when an open is detected in the front airbag sensor\
circuit.
NOTICE: The front airbag sensor connector is equipped with an electrical connec\
tion check mechanism
for the purpose of detecting an open in the front airbag sensor (See pa\
ge RS±13). This mechanism is
constructed so that when the terminals of the front airbag sensor have been connect\
ed (when the con-
nector 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 con-
nected, the diagnosis system may detect only a malfunction code, even though the supplemental re-
straint system is functioning normally. When connecting the front airbag sensor connector, make sure
it is connected properly. If diagnostic trouble code 15 is displayed after the front airbag sens\
or connec-
tor has been connected, check again that it is properly connected.

DTC22SRS Warning Light System Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the supplemental restraint system is normal, the SRS warning light ligh\
ts up for approx. 6 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned from LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turn\
s off automatically. If there
is a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system, the SRS warning l\
ight lights up to inform the driver of the
abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC2 are connected, the diagnostic trouble code is displayed by the blinking
of the SRS warning light.
The SRS warning light circuit is equipped with an electrical connection che\
ck mechanism which detects when
the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly is not properly connecte\
d.
If the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly is not properly conn\
ected, the SRS warning light will not
light up.
Diagnostic trouble code 22 is recorded when a malfunction occurs in the SRS warnin\
g light system. If an OPEN
malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system, the SRS warning light does not light up, so that until the
malfunction is repaired, the diagnostic trouble codes (including 22) c\
annot be confirmed.
DTC No.Trouble Area
22 Open circuit in SRS warning light system.
 Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction.
