Troubleshooting Procedure

*1: CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW.

Action for Non-repeatable Malfunction

• If the malfunction does not recur, verify the malfunction cause by performing the following actions:

• Verify that a DTC has been recorded in the memory.
• Based on the repair order form, attempt to drive the vehicle or perform tests to replicate the malfunction, record the data at that time, and detect the malfunction cause.
• Shake the wiring harness or connector of the electrical component which is suspected to be the cause of the malfunction, and inspect for occurrence of any malfunction or DTCs.

• Inspect the female terminals on the connector of the electric component which is suspected to be the cause of the malfunction for poor connection. (See ELECTRICAL SYSTEM .)

Air Bag System Specification Identification

• Because two types of driver and passenger-side air bag module controls, "Two-step deployment control" and "Standard deployment control", are available depending on when the vehicle was produced, identify the specification referring to the following identification.

Identification

• In this service repair information , "Two-step deployment control system" or "Standard deployment control system" is used if the service contents differ depending on the control.
• Control is identified by the following components.

Outline

• The OBD (on-board diagnostic) system has the following functions:

• Malfunction detection function: Detects malfunctions in the air bag system and outputs DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
• PID/data monitor function: Reads out specific input/output signals and the system status.

• DTCs can be read/cleared using the M-MDS.
