      M2-14 (BGND) - Body ground
    4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    5. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
    6. Using a service wire, connect terminals 1 (RBE+) and 2 (RBE-) of connector C.
      NOTE:

      Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

    7. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified condition
      M2-13 (BSW) - M2-14 (BGND) Always Below 1 Ω
    8. Disconnect the service wire from connector C.
    9. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified condition
      M2-13 (BSW) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      M2-14 (BGND) - Body ground
      M2-13 (BSW) - M2-14 (BGND)

    NG → REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and the front seat inner belt RH.
