Honda HR-V: DTC Troubleshooting 83-33: No Signal From the Front Passenger's Weight Sensor (Front Outer Side)

NOTE:

• Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, find out if the vehicle was in a collision. If so, verify that all the required components were replaced with new components of the correct part number, and that they were properly installed.
• Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures and General Troubleshooting Information.

  Make sure the harness under the front passenger's seat is not pinched or interfering with other parts.

1. Problem verification:

1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then wait for 10 seconds.
3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 83-33 indicated?

YES

The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

NO

Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

2. Open wire check (SWSP3 line):

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Disconnect the front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) 3P connector (A) on the front passenger's seat wire harness.

3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Is there about 5 V?

YES

The SWSP3 wire is OK. Go to step 3.

NO

Open in the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the front passenger's seat wire harness, then clear the DTC.

3. Shorted wire check (SWS3 line):

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Disconnect the following connector.

Front passenger's weight sensor unit connector B (6P)

3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

YES

The SWS3 wire is not shorted. Go to step 4.

NO

Short to ground in the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the front passenger's seat wire harness, then clear the DTC.

4. Shorted wire check (SWS3 line to SWS3G line):

Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

YES

The SWS3 and SWS3G wires are not shorted. Go to step 5.

NO

Short to another wire in the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the front passenger's seat wire harness, then clear the DTC.

5. Open wire check (SWS3 lines):

Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

YES

Faulty front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side); replace the front passenger's seat rail including all four front passenger's weight sensors, then clear the DTC.

NO

Open in the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the front passenger's seat wire harness, then clear the DTC.

DTC (SWS)

1. Problem verification:

1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then wait for 10 seconds.
3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 83-43 indicated?

YES

The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

NO

Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

2. Open wire check (SWSP4 line):

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Disconnect the front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) 3P connector (A) on the front passenger's seat wire harness.

3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Is there about 5 V?

YES

The SWSP4 wire is OK. Go to step 3.

NO

Open in the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the front passenger's seat wire harness, then clear the DTC.

3. Shorted wire check (SWS4 line):

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Disconnect the following connector.
