(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connectors.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

(c) Disconnect the J142 yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) connector.

(d) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

OK:

No deformation or corrosion.

(e) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(f) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(g) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
J142-36 (IG2) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	11 to 14 V

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (E1 AND E2 TERMINAL)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
J142-33 (E1) - Body ground	1 minute or more after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal	Below 1 Ω
J142-32 (E2) - Body ground	1 minute or more after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal	Below 1 Ω

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

4.

CLEAR DTC

(a) Reconnect the J142 yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) connector.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Operate the Techstream to clear the codes. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Trouble Codes.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Clear DTCs

(e) Press the DTC clear button.

(f) Turn the engine switch off.

NEXT

5.	RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Start the engine.

(b) Perform a road test.

(c) Read the DTCs following the prompts on the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Brake/EPB / Trouble Codes.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Trouble Codes

(d) Check if the same DTC is output.

(b) Disconnect the J19 yaw rate and acceleration sensor connector.

(c) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

OK:

No deformation or corrosion.

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(e) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
J19-4 (IG) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	11 to 14 V

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

7.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND TERMINAL)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
J19-1 (GND) - Body ground	1 minute or more after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal	Below 1 Ω

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK
