SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-154

NOTE: *: The squib circuit connectors integrate a
"short" spring (which prevents the air bag from
deploying unintentionally due to static electricity by
shorting the positive wire to the ground wire in the
squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected)
(Refer to

P.52B-3

). Therefore, if connector C-122 or

D-24 is damaged or improperly engaged, the short
spring may not be released when the connector is
connected.

.

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)

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991866: Resister harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus
line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the

scan tool

P.52B-30

."

(2) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(4) Diagnose the CAN bus line.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 2
NO : Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C,

Diagnosis-Can Bus Diagnostic Chart ).

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC 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 Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunctions ).

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOOK (OFF)" position.

Q: Is DTC B1519 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check SRS-ECU connector C-122.
Q: Is the connector correctly engaged?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Engage the connector correctly. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 5. Check SRS-ECU connector C-122 and side-airbag
module (LH) connector D-24. (Using scan tool MB991958,
read the diagnostic trouble code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect connectors C-122 and D-24, 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 B1430 out put?

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

B1430 set because connector C-122 or D-24 was
engaged improperly.

STEP 6. Check the side-airbag module (LH). (Using scan
tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (LH) connector D-24.

(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 the D-24 harness side

connector by backprobing.

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

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1430 set?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the seatback frame of the front seat (LH)

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat

P.52A-25

). Then

go to Step 9.
