STEP 4. Check the passenger's seat belt
pre-tensioner. (Check whether the diagnosis
code is reset.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner

connector D-29. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to
pull out the locking button at the harness side
connector, and then disconnect the connector.

(3) Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865)

to special tool resistor harness (MB991884).

(4) Connect special tool (MB991884) to the D-29

harness side connector.

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

the diagnosis code.

Q: Is diagnosis code 28 set?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Replace the passenger's seat belt
pre-tensioner (Refer to

P.52B-188

). Then

go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Measure the resistance at the SRS-ECU
connector C-114.

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-114.

DANGER

To prevents the air bag from deploying
unintentionally, disconnect the passenger’s
seat belt pre-tensioner connector D-29 to
short the squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner

connector D-29. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to
pull out the locking button at the harness side
connector, and then disconnect the connector.

CAUTION

Insert an insulator such as a cable tie to a depth
of 4 mm or more, otherwise the short bar will not
be released.
(3) Insert a cable tie [3 mm wide, 0.5 mm thick]

between terminals 27, 28 and the short bar to
release the short spring.

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 resistance between C-114 harness

side connector terminals 27 and 28.

OK: Open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Erase the diagnosis code memory, and

check diagnosis code. If diagnosis code 28
sets, replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-178

). Then go to Step 7 .

NO :

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Connector check: SRS-ECU connector
C-114, passenger’s seat belt pre-tensioner
connector D-29 and intermediate connector D-44

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check the harness wires for short circuit

between SRS-ECU connector C-114
(terminal No.27 and 28) and passenger’s
seat belt pre-tensioner connector D-29
(terminal No.2 and 1), and repair if
necessary. Then go to Step 7.

NO :

Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 28 set?

YES :

Return to Step 1.

NO :

The procedure is complete (If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer

TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-62

Code No.29: Passenger's (front) seat belt pre-tensioner (squib) system (open-circuited in the squib
circuit) <L.H. drive vehicles>

OPERATION
The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and
the front air bag analog G-sensor. If the impact is
over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU outputs an
ignition signal. At this time, if the front air bag safing
G-sensor is on, the pre-tensioner will deploy.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code is set if the passenger's seat belt
pre-tensioner squib wire(s) are open-circuited.

PROBABLE CAUSES

•

Open circuit in the passenger's seat belt
pre-tensioner (squib) circuit

•

Improper connector contact

•

Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
