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).

STEP 3. Check SRS-ECU connector C-27, curtain air bag
module (LH) connector D-109 and intermediate connector
D-13. (Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code.)

(1)

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

After disconnecting the D-13 and D-109 harness side
connectors, connect the connectors again. For the D-109
connector disconnection, use a flat-tipped screwdriver to
unlock the locking button at the harness side connector by
withdrawing it to ward you in two stages, and then disconnect
the connector.

Q:Is DTC B1B1B set?

YES:

Go to Step 4.

NO:

Connector repair

STEP 4. Check by dummy resistor connection. (Using scan
tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)

(1)

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2)

Disconnect the D-13 intermediate connector (connection
between curtain air bag harness and floor harness).

(3)

Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool MB991866.

Do not insert a probe into the terminal from its front side
directly, as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.

(4)

Insert the probe of resistor harness, to which the dummy
resistor is installed, from the back of D-13 intermediate
connector (floor harness side).

(5)

Connect the negative battery terminal.

(6)

After erasing the diagnostic trouble code memory, check the
diagnostic trouble code again.

Q:Is DTC B1B1B set?

YES:

Go to Step 5.

NO:

Go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Resistance measurement at the C-27 SRS-ECU
connector.

(1)

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally,
disconnect the intermediate connector D-13 to short the
squib circuit.

(3)

Disconnect the D-13 intermediate connector (connection
between curtain air bag harness and floor harness).

The short spring may not be released due to the insufficient
insertion. Therefore, insert the insulator for 4 mm (0.6 inch)
or more.

(4)

Insert a cable tie [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch)
thick] between terminal 41, 42 and the short spring to release
the short spring.

Check for continuity between the C-27 wiring harness side
connector terminal No. 41 and No. 42.
It should be open circuit.

Q:Does continuity exist?

YES:

Repair the wiring harness.

NO:

Go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Short circuit check between the D-109 curtain air
bag module harness side connector and the D-13
intermediate harness.

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

Q:Does continuity exist?

YES:

Repair the wiring harness.

NO:

Replace the curtain air bag module (LH) (Refer to P.
