YES :

Erase the diagnosis code memory, and

check the diagnosis code. If diagnosis code
B1411 <1st squib> or B1491 <2nd squib>
set, replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to

P.52B-223

). Then go to Step 5.

NO :

Replace the harness wires between
SRS-ECU connector C-119 and
passenger’s air bag module connector
C-108. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code B1411 <1st squib> or B1491

<2nd squib> set?

YES :

Return to Step 1.

NO :

The procedure is complete.

CAUTION

If diagnosis code B1412 <1st squib> or B1492
<2nd squib> is set in the SRS-ECU, always
diagnose the CAN main bus line.

OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is

by detecting signals from the front impact sensors
and the front air bag analogue G-sensor. If the
impact is over a predetermined level, the
SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if
the front air bag safing G-sensor is on, the SRS
air bag will inflate.

• The ignition signal is input to the air bag module

via the clock spring to inflate the air bag.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if there is abnormal
resistance between the input terminals of the
passenger's air bag module (squib). However, if no
diagnosis code resets, the SRS warning lamp will be
switched off (diagnosis code will be retained).

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Short to the earth in the passenger's air bag

module (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics

Use the MUT-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP
54D, Diagnosis

P.54D-16

).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(3) On completion, check that the diagnosis code is

not reset.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

There is an intermittent malfunction such as
poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-5

).

STEP 3. Check the passenger's air bag module.
(MUT-III diagnosis code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect the passenger’s air bag module

connector C-108.

(3) Slide the outer housing of the clock spring side of

passenger’s air bag module connector C-108 in
the arrow direction shown, and disconnect the
connector.

(4) Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865)

to special tool resistor harness (MB991866).

CAUTION

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

side connector C-108 (terminal No.1 and 2 <1st
squib> or terminal No.3 and 4 <2nd squib>) by
backprobing.

(6) Connect the negative battery terminal.

CAUTION

Always diagnosis code B1491 is set when
checking diagnosis code B1412. This is because
the second side terminal is isolated when
checking it,diagnosis code B1492 is set but this
is not a fault. In addition, always diagnosis code
B1411 is set when checking diagnosis code
B1492 because the first side terminal is isolated.
(7) Erase the diagnosis code memory, and check the

diagnosis code.

Q: Is the checked diagnosis code set?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Replace the passenger's air bag module.
(Refer to

P.52B-225

). Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the passenger's air bag module
circuit. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU
connector C-119.

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-119.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying
unintentionally, disconnect the passenger’s
air bag module connector C-108 to short the
squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect the passenger's air bag module

connector C-108.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from
its front side directly, as the connector contact
pressure may be weakened.
(3) Check for continuity between C-119 harness side

connector terminals 27 and 28 <1st squib> or 30
and 31 <2nd squib>, and body earth.

OK: Open circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Erase the diagnosis code memory, and

check the diagnosis code. If diagnosis code
B1412 <1st squib> B1492 <2nd squib>
sets, replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to

P.52B-223

). Then go to Step 5.

NO :

Replace the harness wires between
SRS-ECU connector C-119 and
passenger's air bag module connector
C-108. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code B1412 <1st squib> B1492 <2nd

squib> set?

YES :

Return to Step 1.

NO :

The procedure is complete.
