Code 14
NOTE:
During testing, if codes other than Code 14 are displayed, disregard them.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Remove steering wheel pad. See STEERING WHEEL PAD & SPIRAL CABLE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect passenger-side air bag connector, accessible through finish plate inside glove box. See Figure.
- Use a jumper wire to connect D+ and D- on air bag sensor assembly connector. Measure resistance (on spiral cable side) between spiral cable and wheel pad. Measure resistance between D+ and D-. If resistance is below one ohm, go to next step. If resistance is more than one ohm, go to step 5).
- Connect connector to air bag sensor assembly. Using a jumper wire, connect D+ and D- on spiral cable side of connector between spiral cable and steering wheel pad. Connect negative battery cable. Wait 2 seconds. Turn ignition to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear malfunction codes. Turn ignition to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Using Diagnosis Check Wire (09843-18020), connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1. If DTC 14 is displayed, replace air bag sensor assembly. If DTC 14 is not displayed, go to next step.
- Turn ignition to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Connect steering wheel pad (squib) connector. Connect negative battery cable. Wait 2 seconds. Turn ignition to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Clear malfunction codes. Turn ignition to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition to ACC or ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Using Diagnosis Check Wire (09843-18020), connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1. If DTC 14 is displayed, replace steering wheel pad. If DTC 14 is not displayed, the malfunction is now normal.
- Disconnect connector between air bag sensor assembly and spiral cable. Measure resistance between terminals D+ and D- on spiral cable side of connector between spiral cable and steering wheel pad. If resistance is below 1.0 ohm, go to next step. If resistance is above one ohm, replace spiral cable.
- Use a jumper wire to connect D+ and D- on air bag sensor assembly connector. Measure resistance between D+ and D- on air bag side of connector between air bag sensor assembly and spiral cable. If resistance is below 1.0 ohm, malfunction is now normal. If resistance is above 1.0 ohm, replace harness or connector between air bag sensor and spiral cable.
