AIRBAG SYSTEM > DTC CHECK / CLEAR

for Preparation Click here

1. Check for DTCs (Present trouble codes).
   
   

   1. Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for approximately 60 seconds.
      

   2. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

      NOTICE:

      Connect the terminals to the correct positions to avoid a malfunction.

2. Check for DTCs (History trouble codes).
   
   

   1. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

   2. Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for approximately 60 seconds.
      





3. Read the DTCs.
   
   

   1. Read the blinking patterns of the DTCs. As examples, the blinking patterns for the normal system code and trouble codes 11 and 31 are shown in the illustration.
      

      1. Normal system code indication (without history trouble code)
         The light blinks twice per second.
         
      2. Normal system code indication (with history trouble code)
         When the history trouble code is stored in the center airbag sensor assembly, the light blinks only once per second.
         
      3. Trouble code indication
         The first blinks indicate the first DTC. The second blinks occur after a 1.5-second pause.
         
      If there is more than 1 code, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each code. After all codes are shown, there will be a 4.0-second pause, and then all codes will be repeated.
      

      HINT:

      1. If 2 or more malfunctions are found, the indication begins with the smaller-numbered code.
         
      2. If DTCs are indicated without connecting the terminals, proceed to TC and CG Terminal Circuit (Click here).
         

1. Clear the DTCs.
   
   

   1. When the power switch is turned off, the DTCs are cleared.
      

      HINT:

      Depending on the DTC, the code may not be cleared by turning off the power switch. In this case, proceed to the next procedure.

   2. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3, and then turn the power switch on (IG).

   3. Disconnect terminal TC of the DLC3 within 3 to 10 seconds after the DTCs are output, and check if the SRS warning light comes on after 3 seconds.
      

   4. Within 2 to 4 seconds after the SRS warning light comes on, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
      

   5. The SRS warning light should go off within 2 to 4 seconds after connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3. Then, disconnect terminal TC within 2 to 4 seconds after the SRS warning light goes off.
      

   6. The SRS warning light comes on again within 2 to 4 seconds after disconnecting terminal TC. Then, reconnect terminals TC and CG within 2 to 4 seconds after the SRS warning light comes on.
      

   
   
   

   7. Check if the SRS warning light goes off within 2 to 4 seconds after connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3. Also check if the normal system code is output within 1 second after the SRS warning light goes off.
      If DTCs are not cleared, repeat this procedure until the codes are cleared.
