14. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

15. Disconnect the front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) connector (A) and front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) connector (B).






16. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 18P connector (A) from the ODS unit.

17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).






18. Measure the voltage between the terminal No. 10 of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.

Is the voltage as specified?
YES - Faulty ODS unit; replace the ODS unit. ODS Unit Replacement

NO - Short to power in the ODS unit harness; replace the ODS unit harness.






19. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

20. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 3P connector (A) from the front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side).
