DTC 82-16: No Signal From the Front Passenger's Weight Sensor (rear inner side) (4-door)

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures. and General Troubleshooting Information.

1. Clear the DTC memory.
2. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 82-16 indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures

3. From the SRS INSPECTION menu on the HDS, select SWS DTC CHECK.

Is an SWS DTC also indicated?

YES -
- DTC 16-11: Short to power in the front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) power circuit; replace the ODS unit harness.
- DTC 16-12: Short to ground in the front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) power circuit. Go to step 4.
- DTC 16-13: Short to power in the front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) output circuit. Go to step 11.
- DTC 16-14: Short to ground in the front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) output circuit. Go to step 19.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures

4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 3P connector (A) from the front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side).






6. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 16-12 indicated?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Faulty front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side); replace the front passenger's seat frame including all four front passenger's weight sensors.

7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 18P connector (A) from the ODS unit.






9. Measure the resistance between the No. 4 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 10.

NO - Short to ground in the ODS unit harness; replace the ODS unit harness.

10. Measure the resistance between the No. 4 terminal and No. 14 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty ODS unit; replace the ODS unit.

NO - Short to ground in the ODS unit harness; replace the ODS unit harness.

11. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
12. Swap the connections between the rear inner side front passenger's weight sensor and the front inner side sensor.
13. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 16-13 indicated?

YES - Go to step 14.

NO - Faulty front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side); replace the front passenger's seat frame including all four front passenger's weight sensors.

14. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
15. Disconnect the front passenger's weight sensor (front inner side) connector (A) and front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) connector (B).






16. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 18P connector (A) from the ODS unit.






17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
18. Measure the voltage between the No. 9 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.






Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Faulty ODS unit; replace the ODS unit.

NO - Short to power in the ODS unit harness; replace the ODS unit harness.

19. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
20. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 3P connector (A) from the front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side).






21. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 16-14 indicated?

YES - Go to step 22.

NO - Faulty front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side); replace the front passenger's seat frame including all four front passenger's weight sensors.

22. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
23. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 18P connector (A) from the ODS unit.






24. Measure the resistance between the No. 9 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 25.

NO - Short to ground in the ODS unit harness; replace the ODS unit harness.

25. Measure the resistance between the No. 9 terminal and No. 14 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty ODS unit; replace the ODS unit.

NO - Short in the ODS unit harness; replace the ODS unit harness.
