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

5. Disconnect the rear harness 3P connector from the driver's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector (A).






6. Buckle the driver's seat belt.
Measure the resistance between driver's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3. There should be less than 1.0 Ohms.

Measure the resistance between same connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhms.

Are the resistances as specified?
YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the driver's seat belt buckle assembly, Service and Repair then clear the DTC.






7. Unbuckle the driver's seat belt.
Measure the resistance between driver's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be less than 1.0 Ohms.

Measure the resistance between same connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhms.

Are the resistances as specified?
YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Replace the driver's seat belt buckle assembly, Service and Repair then clear the DTC.






8. Measure the resistance between body ground and driver's seat belt buckle switch 3P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3, individually. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhms.

Is the resistance as specified?
YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Replace the driver's seat belt buckle assembly, Service and Repair then clear the DTC.






9. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.

10. Disconnect both seat belt tensioner 2P connectors from the SRS main harness. Technician Safety Information

11. Disconnect SRS unit connector B (28P) from the SRS unit. Technician Safety Information

12. Measure the resistance between rear harness 3P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhms.

Is the resistance as specified?
YES - Go to step 13.

NO - Short to ground in the rear harness or SRS main harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.






13. Measure the resistance between rear harness 3P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhms.

Is the resistance as specified?
YES - Replace the SRS unit. Service and Repair

NO - Short to ground in the rear harness or SRS main harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.
