(5) Check for continuity between C-37 harness side connector

terminals 1 and 2.
It should be an open circuit.

Q: Is it open circuit?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1B13 sets,
replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-383

). Then go

to Step 7.

NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the harness for short circuit between
SRS-ECU connector C-37 (terminal No.35 and 36) and knee
air bag module connector C-39 (terminal No.2 and 1).
Q: Are harness wires between SRS-ECU connector C-37

(terminal No.1 and 2) and knee air bag module
connector C-39 (terminal No.2 and 1) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU

connector C-37 and knee air bag module connector
C-39. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC B1C36 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete.

CAUTION

If DTC B1B18 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is

by detecting signals from the side impact sensors
installed on the lower side of the center pillar. If
the impact is over a predetermined level, the
SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if
the side collision safing G-sensor is on, the SRS
air bag will inflate.

• The ignition signal is input to the curtain air bag

module (LH) to inflate the curtain air bag.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance
between the input terminals of the curtain air bag
module (LH) (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HITS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to the ground in the curtain air bag module

(LH) (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-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-28

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

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

Diagnosis

P.54C-14

).

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

P.00-15

).
