STEP 5. Voltage measurement at the D-10 intermediate
connector.
(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.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Ignition switch: ON

CAUTION

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

connector (curtain air bag harness side) terminal No. 1, 2
and body ground.
Voltage should measure 0 volt.

Q: Is the measured voltage 0 volt?

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

P.52B-409

).

NO : Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. 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 B1B21 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 B1B22 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 (RH) 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 (RH) (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HITS

• Open circuit in the curtain air bag module (RH)

(squib) circuit

• Improper connector contact

• 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

• MB991884: 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

).
