bag sensor (LH) and the connector (1AI) in the
test harness AI.
3) Connect the connector (2AI) in the test har-
ness AI and the connector (1V) in the test har-
ness V.
4) Disconnect the connector (AB32) from cur-
tain airbag sensor (LH), and connect the con-
nector (2V) in test harness V to connector
(AB32).
5) Measure the resistance between connector
(3V) terminals in the test harness V.

Go to step

Replace the airbag
rear harness along
with body harness.

CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Clear the memory.
3) Perform the Inspection Mode.
4) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Go to step

REPLACE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR (LH) AND
CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AF-
TER REPLACEMENT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 sec-
onds or more.
2) Replace the side airbag sensor (LH). <Ref.
to AB-23, REMOVAL, Side Airbag Sensor.>
3) Connect all connectors.
4) Clear the memory.
5) Perform the Inspection Mode.
6) Read the DTC.

Is the system normal?

Go to step

Replace the cur-
tain airbag sensor
(LH). <Ref. to AB-
24, REMOVAL,
Curtain Airbag
Sensor.> Replace
the airbag control
module if not oper-
ating normally
even after replac-
ing the sensor.
<Ref. to AB-21,
REMOVAL, Airbag
Control Module.>

CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY. Is any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using
“List of Diagnostic
Trouble Code
(DTC)”. <Ref. to
AB(diag)-39, List
of Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC).>

Finish the diagno-
sis.

Diagnostic Chart with Trouble Code

AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)

CC:DTC F6 SIDE SENSOR BUS LH COMMUNICATION ERROR

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

• Open or short circuit in harness of side sensor bus (LH).

• Side airbag sensor (LH) or curtain airbag sensor (LH) is faulty.

• Airbag control module is faulty.
CAUTION:

• Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the

ground cable from battery, and wait approx. 60 seconds or more before starting to work.

• When replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module and sen-

sor, reconnect each part and check that the warning light operates properly.

• When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the airbag module connectors and seat belt

pretensioners of the driver’s and passenger’s seats for safety reasons.

• When inspecting the airbag rear harness, disconnect the side airbag module connector, curtain

airbag module connector and seat belt pretensioner connector for safety reasons.

Yes

CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNEC-
TORS.
Check for poor contact of the connectors
(AB17, AB23, AB32) between the airbag control
module and the curtain airbag sensor (LH).

Is there poor contact?

Replace the airbag
rear harness along
with body harness.
