Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) which includes components such as airbags. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notice for the Supplemental Restraint System (See PRECAUTION ).

Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

Tester connection	Specified condition
Terminal 10 (EAU) main switch side - EAU (E17-10)	Below 1 Ω
Terminal 12 (AU1) main switch side - AU1 (E17-12)	Below 1 Ω
Terminal 11 (AU2) main switch side - AU2(E17-11)	Below 1 Ω

NOTE: The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may prevent the airbag from deploying. Be sure to read the page shown in the brackets.

HINT:

Removal (See REMOVAL )
Installation (See INSTALLATION )

Reconnect the steering pad switch assembly connector.
Reconnect the spiral cable connector.

NG: REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE (See REMOVAL )

OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - RADIO RECEIVER)
