shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
(6) Never disassemble and repair the center airbag
sensor assembly, steering wheel pad in order to re-
use it.
(7) If the center airbag sensor assembly, steering
wheel pad have been dropped, or if there are
cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket
or connector, replace them with new ones.
(8) Do not expose the center airbag sensor assembly,
steering wheel pad directly to hot air or flames.
(9) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kΩ/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical cir-
cuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the periphery of
the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is
completed, check the SRS warning light (See page
DI−365).
(c) FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
(1) Never reuse the front airbag sensors involved in a
collision that activated the supplemental restraint
system. (Replace both left and right airbag sen-
sors.)
(2) Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the
sensor facing toward the front of the vehicle.
The front airbag sensor set bolts have been anti−
rust treated. When the sensor is removed, always
replace the set bolts with new ones.

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer’s vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot condition or the
vehicle at a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is likely cause for problem which
is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in that the ex-
ternal causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should of course be confirmed, but the problem area
or parts must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symp-
toms before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation
test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the problem symp-
toms at the same time. Refer to the matrix chart of problem symptoms for each system to narrow down the
possible causes of the symptom.

HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated. 2
NOTICE:
(1) Do not heat to more than 60 °C (140 °F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
(2) Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU.
3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
NOTICE:
(1) Never sprinkle water directly into the engine
compartment, but indirectly change the temperature and
humidity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
(2) Never apply water directly onto the electronic
components.
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high−humidity condition. Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.ON (Service hint)
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.

2. CONTINUITY CHECK (OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ECU and sensor
sides.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors.
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire har-
ness vertically and horizontally.
When tester probes are inserted into a connector, insert
the probes from the back. For waterproof connectors in
which the probes cannot be inserted from the back, be
careful not to bend the terminals when inserting the tester
probes.
3. RESISTANCE CHECK (SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors on both ends.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors and body ground. Be sure to carry out
this check on the connectors on both ends.
Resistance: 1 MΩ or higher
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
4. VISUAL CHECK AND CONTACT PRESSURE CHECK
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ends.
(b) Check for rust or foreign material, etc. in the terminals of
the connectors.
(c) Check crimped portions for looseness or damage and
check if the terminals are secured in lock portion.
HINT:
The terminals should not come out when pulled lightly.
(d) Prepare a test male terminal and insert it in the female ter-
minal, then pull it out.
NOTICE:
When testing a gold−plated female terminal, always use a
gold−plated male terminal.
HINT:
When the test terminal is pulled out more easily than others,
there may be poor contact in that section.

1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description
When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect to the vehicle the OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1978 or TOYOTA hand−
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle’s ECM.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle’s on−
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the computer itself or
in drive system components which affect vehicle
emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when
a malfunction is detected, the applicable Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) prescribed by SAE J2012 are
recorded in the ECM memory (See page DI−13).
If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 trips, the MIL goes off
but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory.
To check the DTCs, connect the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand−held tester to the Data Link Con-
nector 3 (DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester also enables you
to erase the DTCs and check freezed frame data
and vaious forms of engine data (For operating
instructions, see the OBD II scan tool’s instruction
book.).
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and manufac-
turer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must
be set as prescribed by the SAE, while manufactur-
er controlled codes can be set freely by the
manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See DTC
chart on page DI−13).
The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTCs use 2 trip detection
logic* to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the
technician can cause the MIL to light up for a mal-
function that is only detected once or momentarily
(TOYOTA hand−held tester only) (See step 2).
*2 trip detection logic: When a logic malfunction is
first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored
in the ECM memory. If the same malfunction is de-
tected again during the 2nd drive test, this 2nd
detection causes the MIL to light up.

HINT:
If your display shows ”UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE”
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand−held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch
ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the ve-
hicle side or tool side.
If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool’s instruction manual.
2. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Normal Mode)
(a) Check the MIL.
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter.
(2) When the engine started, the MIL should go off. If
the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has de-
tected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
TOYOTA hand−held tester only: When the diagnosis sys-
tem is switched from normal mode to check mode, it
erases all DTCs and freezed frame data recorded in normal
mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs
and freezed frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand−held tester.
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand−
held tester to the DLC3 at the lower of the instru-
ment panel.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester switch ON.
(4) Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held
tester to check the DTCs and freezed frame data,
note them down. (For operating instructions, see
the OBD II scan tool’s instruction book.)
(5) See page DI−13 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.
