3.CHECK AIRBAG REAR HARNESS (CURTAIN AIRBAG MODULE HARNESS RH).
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
2) Disconnect the connector (AB26) from seat belt pretensioner (RH).
3) Disconnect connector (AB24) from side airbag module (RH).
4) Disconnect the airbag resistor from test harness N.
5) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module.
6) Connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18).
7) Measure the resistance between connector (6AG) terminals in test harness AG.
Connector & terminal
(6AG) No. 6 — (6AG) No. 8:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
