5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connector) and simulator lead E to the right side wire 

harness.  

6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.  

7. Clear the DTC memory.  

8. Read the DTC (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ). 

Is DTC 34-1x or 34-2x indicated?  

YES - Go to step 9. 

NO - Open or increased resistance in the right side curtain airbag inflator, replace the right side 
curtain airbag (see SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ). 

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes. 

10. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 7 ).  

11. Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead.
