Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Short in driver side squib circuit
![Toyota RAV4. Short in driver side squib circuit](images/books/256/65/4.htm53.jpg)
Description
The driver side squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor, the
spiral cable and the steering pad.
The circuit instructs the srs to deploy when the deployment conditions are met.
These dtcs are recorded when a malfunction is detected in the driver side squib
circuit.

Inspection procedure
Hint:
- Perform the simulation method by selecting the "check mode" (signal
check) with the intelligent
tester (see page rs-52).
- After selecting the "check mode" (signal check), perform the simulation
method by wiggling each
connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough
road (see page rs-52).
- Check steering pad (driver side squib)
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Disconnect the connectors from the steering pad.
- Connect the white wire side of sst (resistance 2.1 Ù) to
connector e.
Caution:
Never connect a tester to the steering pad (driver
side squib) for measurement, as this may lead to a
serious injury due to airbag deployment.
Notice:
- Do not forcibly insert sst into the terminals of the
connector when connecting.
- Insert sst straight into the terminals of the
connector.
Sst 09843-18060
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal,
and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch on (ig), and wait for at least 60
seconds.
- Clear the dtcs (see page rs-49).
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60
seconds.
- Check the dtcs (see page rs-49).
Ok:
dtc b1800, b1801, b1802, b1803 or 51 is not
output.
Hint:
Dtcs other than dtc b1800, b1801, b1802, b1803 or
51 may be output at this time, but they are not related to
this check.
