Self-diagnosis Detection Logic

HINT:
When performing electrical diagnosis and test, always refer to the relevant circuit diagram for the special 
circuit and component information.

Diagnosis Procedure

a. Turn ignition switch to LOCK, disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for at least 90 seconds. 
b. Disconnect front passenger seat belt reminder switch connector, and connect the new front passenger 

seat belt reminder switch connector to connector B-049. 

c. Reconnect the negative battery cable and wait for a few seconds.
d. Turn ignition switch ON and wait for at least 90 seconds.
e. Use X-431 3G diagnostic tester to clear the DTCs.
f. Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
g. Turn ignition switch ON and wait for at least 90 seconds.
h. Use X-431 3G diagnostic tester to check if the DTCs are still output.

Use circuit diagram as a guide to perform the following procedures:
a. Turn ignition switch to LOCK, disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for at least 90 seconds. 
b. Disconnect the front passenger seat belt reminder switch connector B-049 and SRS control module 

assembly connector I-046/B-072.

c. Disconnect the body wire harness connector B-003 and instrument panel wire harness connector I-006 

(*1).

d. Check if wire harnesses are worn, pierced, pinched or partially broken.
e. Check for broken, bent, protruded or corroded terminals.
f. Check if related connector terminal contact pins are in good condition.

a. Turn ignition switch to LOCK, disconnect the negative 

battery cable and wait for at least 90 seconds. 

b. Disconnect the front passenger seat belt reminder switch 

connector B-049 and SRS control module assembly 
connector I-046/B-072.

c. Connect the negative battery cable and wait for a few 

seconds.

d. Turn ignition switch ON.
e. Using a digital multimeter, measure the voltage between 

front passenger seat belt reminder switch connector B-049 
and body ground to check for a short circuit to power 
supply according to the table below.
Standard Voltage

f. Turn ignition switch to LOCK, disconnect the negative 

battery cable and wait for at least 90 seconds. 

g. Using a digital multimeter, check for continuity between 

front passenger seat belt reminder switch connector B-049 
and body ground to check for a short circuit to ground 
according to the table below.
