Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure

1 Check d squib circuit(airbag sensor assy center – horn button assy)

  1. Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery, and wait at least for 90 seconds.
  2.  disconnect the connectors between the horn button assy and the airbag sensor assy center.
  3.  for the orange connector (on the spiral cable sub–assy side) between the horn button assy and the spiral cable sub–assy, measure the resistance between d+ and d–.

    Ok: resistance: below 1 Ω

2 Check air bag sensor assy center

2 Check air bag sensor assy center

Sst 09843–18040

  1. Connect the connector to the airbag sensor assy center.
  2.  using a service wire, connect d+ and d– of the orange connector (on the spiral cable sub–assy side) between the horn button assy and the spiral cable sub–assy.
  3.  connect the negative (–) terminal cable to the battery, and wait at least for 2 seconds.
  4.  turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
  5.  clear the dtc stored in memory .
  6.  turn the ignition switch to lock, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
  7.  turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
  8.  check the dtc .

    Ok: dtc b0101/14 is not output.

Hint

: codes other than code b0101/14 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.

4 Check instrument panel wire(airbag sensor assy center – spiral cable sub–assy)

  1. Disconnect the connector of the instrument panel wire.
  2. for the connector (on the spiral cable sub–assy side) between the airbag sensor assy center and the spiral cable sub–assy, measure the resistance between d+ and d–.

    Ok: resistance: below 1 Ω

5 Check spiral cable sub–assy

    Notice: if there is no dtc in the normal mode, check the pending fault code using the continuous test results function (mode 7 for sae j1979) on the obd ii scan tool or the hand–held tester. Hand–held tester only: when the diagnosis system is switched from the normal mode to the ...

    General information
    There are many ecu controlled systems used in the corolla. In general, ecu controlled system are considered to be very intricate and require a high level of technical knowledge and expert skill to troubleshoot. The fact is, however, that if you proceed by inspecting the circuits one by one, ...
