SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-136

STEP 3. Check the side-airbag module (LH). (Using
diagnostic tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble
code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (LH) connector D-24.

(3) Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool MB991866.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front
side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
(4) Insert special tool MB991866 into the D-24 harness side

connector by testprobe.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1432 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the seatback frame of the front seat (LH)

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat

P.52A-33

). Then

go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the side-airbag module (RH) circuit.
Measure the voltage at the SRS-ECU connector D-27.
(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector D-27.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally,
disconnect the side-airbag module (LH) connector
D-24 to short the squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect left hand side-airbag module (LH) connector

D-24.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front
side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
(4) Measure the voltage between D-27 harness side connector

terminals 9, 10 and body ground.
Voltage should measure 0 volt.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1432 sets,
replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-234

). Then go

to Step 6.

NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the harness wires for short circuit to power
supply between SRS-ECU connector D-27 (terminal No.9
and 10) and side-airbag module (LH) connector D-24
(terminal No.1 and 2).
Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector

D-27 (terminal No.9 and 10) and side-airbag module (LH)
connector D-24 (terminal No.1 and 2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU

connector D-27 and side-airbag module (LH)
connector D-24. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is DTC B1432 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete.

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

DTC B1433: Side-Airbag Module (LH) (Squib) System Fault Ground Circuit (Short-Circuited to
Ground)

CAUTION

If DTC B1433 is set in the combination meter,
always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is

by detecting signals from the left and right side
impact sensors. If the impact is over a predeter-
mined level, the SRS-ECU sends an ignition sig-
nal. At this time, if the side-airbag safing
G-sensor is on, the SRS side-airbag will inflate.

• The ignition signal is input to the side-airbag

module to inflate the side-airbag.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance
between the input terminals of the side-airbag mod-
ule (LH) (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to ground in the left hand side-airbag mod-

ule (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958 : diagnostic tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN

communication system)

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991866: Resistor harness
