4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Disconnect the rear harness 3P connector from the passenger's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector (A).






6. Buckle the passenger's seat belt.

Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 3 terminals of the passenger's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector. There should be 0 - 1.0 ohms.

Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the same connector. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Are the resistances as specified?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the passenger's seat belt buckle assembly, then clear the DTC.

7. Unbuckle the passenger's seat belt.

Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the passenger's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector. There should be 0 - 1.0 ohms.

Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 3 terminals of the same connector. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Are the resistances as specified?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Replace the passenger's seat belt buckle assembly, then clear the DTC.

8. Measure the resistance between the No. 2 terminal of the passenger's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector and body ground, and between the No. 3 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Replace the passenger's seat belt buckle assembly.

9. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
10. Disconnect both seat belt tensioner 2P connectors from the SRS main harness.
11. Disconnect SRS unit connector B (28P) from the SRS unit.
12. Measure the resistance between the No. 2 terminal of the rear harness 3P connector and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 13.

NO - Short to ground in the rear harness or SRS main harness; replace the faulty harness.

13. Measure the resistance between the No. 3 terminal of the rear harness 3P connector and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty SRS unit; replace the SRS unit.

NO - Short to ground in the rear harness or SRS main harness; replace the faulty harness.
