STEP 6. Short circuit check between the F-04 curtain air
bag module harness side connector and the D-10
intermediate harness.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally,
disconnect the curtain air bag module connector F-04
to short the squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect curtain air bag module (RH) F-04. Use a

flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the
harness side connector by withdrawing it toward you in two
stages, and then disconnect the connector.

(3) Disconnect the D-10 intermediate connector (connection

between curtain air bag harness and floor harness).

(4) Because the short spring is installed to the D-10

intermediate connector (curtain air bag harness side), insert
a cable tie [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) thick]
between terminals 1, 2 and the short spring to release the
short spring.

CAUTION

Do not insert a probe into the terminal from its front side
directly, as the connector contact pressure may be weak-
ened.
(5) Check for continuity between the D-10 intermediate

connector (curtain air bag harness side) terminal No.1 and
2.
It should be open circuit.

Q: Is it open circuit?

YES : Replace the curtain air bag module (RH) (Refer to

P.52B-409

). Then go to Step 7.

NO : Repair the wiring harness.

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 B1B23 set?

YES : Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-383

).

NO : Intermittent Malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to

Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-15

).

CAUTION

If DTC B1B54, B1B55 or B1B56 are set in the
SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus
lines.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The SRS-ECU determines whether the seat belt is
fastened or not according to the connection location
of the seat belt switch in the seat buckle.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

DTC is set when the resistance between input termi-
nals of the seat belt switch in the SRS-ECU is with-
out the standard value.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the seat belt switch

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991222: Probe

• 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)

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

P.00-15

).
