DTC 6A BELT PRETENSIONER RH FAILURE

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

• Seat belt pretensioner (RH) circuit is shorted.

• Pretensioner (RH) is faulty.

• Pretensioner harness (RH) 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 60 seconds or more before starting to work.

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

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

• When inspecting the airbag rear harness, disconnect the side airbag module connector, curtain airbag module connector, seat belt pretensioner and lap seat belt pretensioner connector for safety reasons.

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS.

Check for poor contact of the connectors between the airbag control module and the seat belt pretensioner RH.

Is there poor contact?

Replace the airbag rear harness along with body harness.

2.CHECK SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the connector (AB26) from seat belt pretensioner (RH).

3) Connect the connector (1N) in the test harness N to the connector (AB26).

4) Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2N) of test harness N.

5) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.

Does the airbag warning light illuminate for 6 seconds and go off?

Replace the seat belt pretensioner (RH).

3.CHECK AIRBAG REAR HARNESS (PRETENSIONER HARNESS RH).

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the airbag resistor from test harness N.

3) Disconnect connector (AB24) from side airbag module (RH).

4) Disconnect the connector (AB30) from lap seat belt pretensioner (RH).

5) Disconnect the connector (AB33) from curtain airbag module (RH).

6) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module.

7) Connect the connector (1AH) in the test harness AH to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18).

8) Connect the connector (2AH) in the test harness AH and the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG.

9) Measure the resistance between connector (3AG) terminals in test harness AG.

Connector & terminal

(3AG) No. 18 — (3AG) No. 20:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Replace the airbag rear harness along with body harness.

4.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?

Replace the airbag control module.

5.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.

Finish the diagnosis.
