Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | INSPECT CRASH ZONE SENSOR • Using the WDS or equivalent, verify the following PID/DATA monitor. (See PID/DATA MONITOR TABLE.) – OD_F_CRSH • Is the crash zone sensor normal? | Yes | [Present malfunction diagnosis] • Replace the SAS unit. (See SAS UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) [Past malfunction diagnosis] • DTC troubleshooting completed.
No | Go to the next step.
2 | INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN CRASH ZONE SENSOR AND SAS UNIT Warning • Handling the air bag system components improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag system components. (See SERVICE WARNINGS.) (SeeSERVICE CAUTIONS.) • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. • Remove the column cover. • Disconnect the clock spring connector. • Remove the glove compartment. • Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector. • Disconnect the driver and passenger-side side air bag module connectors. • Disconnect the driver and passenger-side curtain air bag module connectors. • Remove the rear door lower trim. • Disconnect the driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors. • Partially peel back the floor covering. • Disconnect the SAS unit SAS unit connector. • Disconnect the crash zone sensor connector. • Connect the negative battery cable. • Inspect the wiring harnesses between SAS unit terminal 1B and crash zone sensor terminal A, SAS unit terminal 1C and crash zone sensor terminal B for the following: – Short to ground – Short to power supply – Open circuit • Is the wiring harness normal? | Yes | Replace the crash zone sensor, then go to the next step. (See CRASH ZONE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Replace the air bag wiring harness.
3 | INSPECT SAS UNIT • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. • Connect the SAS unit connector. • Connect the crash zone sensor connector. • Is DTC B2296 indicated? | Yes | [Present malfunction diagnosis] • Replace the SAS unit. (See SAS UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) [Past malfunction diagnosis] • DTC troubleshooting completed.
