DTC B00A0:1C [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]



System malfunction location

  • Seat weight sensor control module circuit open to power supply

Detection condition

WARNING:

  • Detection conditions are for understanding the DTC outline before performing an inspection. Performing an inspection according to only the detection conditions may cause injury due to an operating error, or damage the system. When performing an inspection, always follow the inspection procedure.

  • Malfunction in seat weight sensor control module circuit.

Fail-safe

Not applicable

Possible cause

  • SRS2/ESCL 15A fuse malfunction

  • Seat weight sensor control module connector malfunction

  • Short circuit to power supply or body ground in the wiring harness between fuse block and seat weight sensor control module

  • Open circuit in the wiring harness between fuse block and seat weight sensor control module

  • Seat weight sensor control module malfunction


Diagnostic Procedure



Step

Inspection

Action

1

INSPECT FUSE

Yes

Install the fuse, then go to the next step.

No

Replace the fuse.

2

INSPECT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR

WARNING:

  • Disconnect the seat weight sensor control module connector.

  • Is there any malfunction of the seat weight sensor control module connector?

Yes

Replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 6.

No

Replace the wiring harness.

3

INSPECT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Seat weight sensor control module and fuse block connectors are disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

    • Seat weight sensor control module terminal 2A

NOTE:

  • Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the seat weight sensor control module and fuse block.

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between seat weight sensor control module terminal and fuse block terminal.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

  • Replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 6.

No

Go to the next step.

4

INSPECT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Seat weight sensor control module and fuse block connectors are disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

    • Seat weight sensor control module terminal 2A—fuse block terminal

NOTE:

  • Inspect for continuity while shaking the wiring harness between the seat weight sensor control module and fuse block.

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between seat weight sensor control module terminal and fuse block terminal.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

  • Replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 6.

5

INSPECT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY

NOTE:

  • Measure the voltage while shaking the wiring harness between the seat weight sensor control module and fuse block.

  • Is the voltage 0 V?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between seat weight sensor control module terminal and fuse block terminal.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.

  • Replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to the next step.

6

PERFORM SAS CONTROL MODULE DTC INSPECTION

Yes

Replace the seat weight sensor control module. (See SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
