DTC 35 | Passenger-side side air bag sensor system (Communication error)
DETECTION CONDITION |

  Warning

  • Detection conditions are for understanding DTC outline before performing inspection. Performing inspection with only detection conditions may cause injury due to operating error or damage the system. When performing inspection, always follow inspection procedure.

  Note

  • For vehicles without side air bag, DTC 22, 25, 26, 32, 35, or 37 may be indicated concurrently. In such a case, perform only the smallest DTC troubleshooting among them.

With side air bag
• Malfunction in wiring harness between passenger-side side air bag sensor and SAS unit
Without side air bag
• SAS unit connector terminal 2AA is open.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | With side air bag • Passenger-side side air bag sensor malfunction • Open or short circuit in wiring harness between passenger-side side air bag sensor and SAS unit • SAS unit malfunction Without side air bag • Malfunction of connector between SAS unit and ground
• Open or short circuit in wiring harness between SAS unit and ground
• SAS unit malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | Is vehicle equipped with side air bag? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Go to Step 5.
2 | INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR AND SAS UNIT

  Warning

  • Handling air bag system components improperly can accidentally deploy air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may seriously injure you. Read AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS before handling air bag system components. See SERVICE WARNINGS.

• Turn ignition switch to LOCK position.
• Disconnect negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute.
• Remove clock spring.
(See CLOCK SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
• Remove glove compartment.
• Disconnect passenger-side air bag module connector.
• Disconnect driver and passenger-side side air bag module connectors.
• Remove B-pillar lower trims. (Vehicle with pre-tensioner seat belt)
• Disconnect driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors. (Vehicle with pre-tensioner seat belt)
• Turn up floor covering.
• Disconnect all SAS unit connectors.
• Remove passenger-side B-pillar lower trim.
• Disconnect passenger-side side air bag sensor connector.
• Inspect following wiring harness between SAS unit and passenger-side side air bag sensor terminals (harness side) for short to ground, short to power supply, and open circuit:

  - 1L and A
  - 1J and B
  - 1H and C
  - 1G and D

• Are wiring harnesses okay?
Yes
Present malfunction diagnosis:
• Go to next step.
Past malfunction diagnosis:
• Replace SAS unit.
(See SAS UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Replace wiring harnesses.
3 | INSPECT PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR • Measure resistance between passenger-side side air bag sensor terminals C and D. • Is resistance approximately 1 kW? | Yes | Replace SAS unit, then go to next step. (See SAS UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Replace passenger-side side air bag sensor. (See SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4 | VERIFY WHETHER PASSENGER-SIDE SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING OR NOT • Connect all SAS unit connectors. • Connect passenger-side side air bag sensor connector. • Remove clock spring. (See CLOCK SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
• Connect passenger-side air bag module connector.
• Connect driver and passenger-side side air bag module connectors.
• Connect driver and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt connectors.
• Connect negative battery cable.
• Turn ignition switch to ON position.
• Is DTC 35 indicated?
Yes
Replace passenger-side side air bag sensor.
(See SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Troubleshooting completed.
5 | VERIFY THAT SAS unit CONNECTOR TERMINAL 2AA IS GROUNDED
