DTC 32

DTC DTTECTING CONDITION:


• Front sub sensor harness (LH) circuit is shorted.

• Front sub sensor harness (LH) circuit is open.

• Front sub sensor (LH) is faulty.

• Airbag control module is faulty.


Important
• Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable from battery, and wait more than 20 seconds before starting to work.

• Before replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner roll connector, control module, and sensor, reconnect each part and confirm that the warning light operates properly.

• When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the driver’s airbag module and passenger’s airbag module connectors for safety reasons.


WIRING DIAGRAM:


CHECK FRONT SUB SENSOR (LH) AND FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (LH).

Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait more than 20 seconds.

Disconnect the connector (AB3) from the airbag control module, and connect connector (1R) in the test harness R to connector (AB3).

Measure the resistance of the connector (3R) in the test harness R.
