STEP 4. Check SRS-ECU connector C-121.

Q: Is the connector correctly engaged?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Engage the connector correctly. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 5. Check SRS-ECU connector C-121, clock spring
connector C-307 and driver’s air bag module connector
C-305. (Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect connectors C-121, C-307 and C-305, and then

reconnect them.

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

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1400 <1st squib> or B1480 <2nd squib> set?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : The procedure is complete. It is assumed that DTC

B1400 <1st squib> or B1480 <2nd squib> set
because connector C-121, C-307 or C-305 was
engaged improperly.

STEP 6. Check the driver's air bag module. (Using scan
tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)

(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Slide the outer housing of the clock spring side of driver’s

air bag module connector C-305 in the arrow direction
shown, and disconnect the connector.

(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 clock spring side of

driver’s air bag module connector C-305 (terminal No.1 and
2 <1st squib> or No.3 and 4 <2nd squib>) by backprobing.

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

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1400 <1st squib> or B1480 <2nd squib> set?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the driver's air bag module. (Refer to
