2.CHECK AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS (PASSENGER’S AIRBAG HARNESS). 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more. 2) Disconnect the connectors (AB7) and (AB2). 3) Disconnect the passenger’s airbag module connector (AB9). 4) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module. 5) Using a probe, measure the resistance between the terminals of connector (AB9). General Description > PREPARATION TOOL CAUTION: When measuring the resistance, make sure that the probe is inserted from the back side (harness side) of the connector. Also, do not insert the probe forcibly. Connector & terminal (AB9) No. 3 — (AB9) No. 4:	Is the resistance less than 10 --	Diagnostic Chart with Trouble Code > DTC B1816 OPEN IN PASSENGER'S AIRBAG DUAL STAGE - 2ND STEP	Replace the airbag main harness along with body harness.
3.CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. 1) Connect the connector other than passenger’s airbag module connector (AB9). 2) Using a probe, short the terminals No. 3 and No. 4 of connector (AB9). General Description > PREPARATION TOOL CAUTION: When shorting the terminals, make sure that the probe is inserted from the back side (harness side) of the connector. Also, do not insert the probe forcibly. Connector & terminal (AB9) No. 3 — (AB9) No. 4: 3) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON. 4) Clear the memory. Clear Memory Mode 5) Perform the Inspection Mode. Inspection Mode 6) Read the DTC. (Current malfunction) Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is DTC B1815 displayed-	Diagnostic Chart with Trouble Code > DTC B1816 OPEN IN PASSENGER'S AIRBAG DUAL STAGE - 2ND STEP	Replace the airbag control module.
