WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . After repairs are complete, activate air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
- Disable air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Remove driver-side air bag module. See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Connect connector AB7 to test harness "F" (98299FC010), connector 1F. See Fig 1. Connect Air Bag Resistor (98299PA040) to test harness "F", connector 3F. See Fig 2. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. If AIR BAG warning light operates properly, replace driver-side air bag module. In AIR BAG warning light does not operate properly, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off and disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 20 seconds. Disconnect test harness "F". Remove lower steering column cover, then disconnect lower clockspring connectors AB3 and AB8. See Figure. Connect test harness "F", connector 1F to connector AB8. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. If AIR BAG warning light operates properly, replace clockspring. See CLOCKSPRING under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. In AIR BAG warning light does not operate properly, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off and disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 20 seconds. Disconnect air bag resistor from test harness "F". Remove glove box and disconnect passenger-side air bag module connectors AB9 and AB10. See Figure. Disconnect air bag control module connector AB6. See AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Connect connector AB6 to test harness "I" (98299FC040) or I2 (98299FC041), connector 1I. See Figure or Figure . Measure resistance between test harness "F", connector 3F, terminal No. 3 and test harness "I" or I2, connector 2I, terminal No. 4. Measure resistance between test harness "F", connector 3F, terminal No. 4 and test harness "I" or I2, connector 2I, terminal No. 1. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 10 ohms or more, replace air bag system main wiring harness.
- Measure resistance between test harness "I" or I2, connector 2I, terminals No. 1 and 4. Measure resistance between ground and test harness "I" or I2, connector 2I, terminal No. 4. Measure resistance between ground and test harness "I" or I2, connector 2I, terminal No. 1. If resistance is more than one megohm, replace air bag control module. See AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is less than one megohm, replace air bag system main wiring harness.
