3.CHECK AIRBAG REAR HARNESS (SEAT CUSHION AIRBAG MODULE HARNESS LH) (SHORTED TO POWER SUPPLY). 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more. 2) Disconnect the connector (AB21) from seat belt pretensioner LH. 3) Disconnect the connector (AB19) of the side airbag module LH. 4) Disconnect the connector (AB31) from curtain airbag module LH. 5) Disconnect the airbag resistor from test harness D. 6) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module. 7) Connect the connector (1AD) in test harness AD AV to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18). 8) Connect the connector (2AD) in test harness AD AV and the connector (1AG) in test harness AG. 9) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON. 10) Measure the voltage between connector (3D) in the test harness D and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (3D) No. 4 (+) — Chassis ground (−): (3D) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (−):	Is the voltage less than 1 V-	Diagnostic Chart with Trouble Code > DTC B1828 SHORT IN SIDE AIRBAG LH (TO +B)	Replace the airbag rear harness along with body harness.
4.CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. 1) Connect all connectors. 2) Clear the memory. Clear Memory Mode 3) Perform the Inspection Mode. Inspection Mode 4) Read the DTC. (Current malfunction) Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is DTC B1878 displayed-	Replace the airbag control module.
