| 1. CHECK VEHICLE STEERING POSITION |
|
|
||||
| A | |
| 2. CHECK DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG SQUIB) |
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Disconnect the connectors from the driver side knee airbag assembly.
Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to the floor wire No.2.
- CAUTION:
- Never connect a tester to the driver side knee airbag assembly (Driver side knee airbag squib) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.
- NOTICE:
- Do not forcibly insert the SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
- Insert the SST straight into the terminals of the connector.
- SST
- 09843-18060
Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
