DTC 31, 32 Inspection Procedure:





Battery/SDU Disconnect:






1. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position, disconnect the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.

Caution:
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work. (Refer to Service Precautions.)




2. Remove the floor console assembly. (Refer to GROUP 23A - Floor Console.)


3. Place a flat-tipped screwdriver against the lock spring at the lock lever notch and push the spring toward the unit.

Caution:
Do not use excessive force to raise the lock lever (green).


The capacitor inside the SDU is probably defective, so replace the SDU.

However, code No.32 could also be a result of a short in the front impact sensor, so the front impact sensor system should also be checked. (Refer to DTC 11/12/13.)
