CAUTION

The short spring may not be released due to the
insufficient insertion. Therefore, insert the insu-
lator for 4 mm or more.
(4) Insert an insulator (width: 3 mm, thickness: 0.5

mm) such as cable tie between the KDS-, KDS+
line and the short spring, and release the short
spring.

(5) Take the measurements below at the SRS-ECU

harness side connector.

• Continuity between KDS-, KDS+ line

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness KDS-, KDS+ line
between the SRS-ECU connector and the
knee air bag module connector.

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is the diagnosis code No. B1631 set?

YES :

Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-129

).

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

−

Code No.B1632 Driver's knee air bag module (squib) system (open circuit of squib circuit)

CAUTION

If the diagnosis code B1632 is set to SRS-ECU,
be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.

OPERATION

Only when the frontal impact exceeding the threshold
is simultaneously detected (turned ON) by the front
impact sensor as well as by the analogue G-sensor
in SRS-ECU, the electric current is supplied from
SRS-ECU to the knee air bag module (squib).

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

The code is set when the open circuit occurs to the
SRS-ECU driver's knee air bag module (squib) cir-
cuit.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Poor contact of connector

• Open circuit to driver's knee air bag module

(squib) circuit

• Malfunction of SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics.
Use M.U.T.-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
54C

− Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
(1) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(2) After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check

the diagnosis code again.

(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q: Is the diagnosis code No. B1632 set?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

−

How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 3. Diagnosis check by dummy resistor
connection.
(1) Check that the negative battery terminal is

disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is
connected, disconnect it.

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Replace the driver’s knee air bag module
(Refer to

P.52B-139

).

STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the
SRS-ECU connector and the knee air bag module
connector.
(1) Check that the negative battery terminal is

disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is
connected, disconnect it.
