WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see the under surface of seat cushion.
In the above case, hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Holding the seat for a long period of time may cause a problem, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat only as necessary.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly and occupant classification ECU. Also check that the connectors that link the front seat wire RH and No. 2 floor wire are properly connected.

(d) for Manual seat:

Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly and occupant classification ECU.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(e) for Power seat:

Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and occupant classification ECU. Also disconnect the connectors that link the front seat wire RH and No. 2 floor wire.

(f) for Manual seat:

Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and occupant classification ECU.

(g) Check that the connector terminals are not damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.
