.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU is energized by the ignition switch

(IG1) through multi-purpose fuse 22 and the
SRS-ECU terminal 23 and multi-purpose fuse 23
and the SRS-ECU terminal 24.

• If the power supply to the SRS-ECU has failed,

scan tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly) will not be able
to communicate with it.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CASE:)

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Defective battery

• Charging system failed

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan 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)

STEP 1. Measure the resistance at SRS-ECU connector
C-121.
(1) Disconnect the connector C-121.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front
side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
(2) Check for continuity between C-121 harness side connector

terminals 40 and body ground.
It should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Then go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the wiring harness between SRS-ECU

connector C-121 terminals 40 and the body ground.
Then go to Step 5.

STEP 2. Check the harness wires for short circuit to
ground between SRS-ECU connector C-121 (terminal
No.23 and 24) and ignition switch connector C-308
(terminal No.2).

NOTE: After inspecting intermediate connectors C-22, C-211
and C-215 inspect the wiring harness. If intermediate connec-
tors C-22, C-211 and C-215 are damaged, repair or replace
them. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection .
Then go to Step 5.

Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector

C-121 (terminal No.23 and 24) and ignition switch
connector C-308 (terminal No.2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU

connector C-121 and ignition switch connector C-308.
Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check the battery.
Check the battery (Refer to GROUP 54A, Battery test ).

Q: Is the battery in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Charge or replace the battery. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the charging system.
Check the charging system (Refer to GROUP 16, Charging
system diagnosis ).

Q: Is the charging system in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the charging system

component(s).Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Retest the system.

Q: Can the SRS-ECU communicate with the scan tool

(MUT-III Sub Assembly)?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .

NO : Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-365

). Then go

to Step 6.

STEP 6. Retest the system.

Q: Can the SRS-ECU communicate with the scan tool

(MUT-III Sub Assembly)?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Go to Step 1.
