Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 900

If DTC B1B23 is set in the SRS-ECU, always
diagnose 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 and at
the quarter panel inner. If the impact is over a
predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an
ignition signal. At this time, if the side-airbag safing
G-sensor is on, the SRS side-airbag 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

｠

Improper engaged connector or defective short
spring*

｠

Short circuit between the curtain air bag module
(RH) (squib) circuit terminals

｠

Damaged connector(s)

｠

Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

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-31).
Therefore, if connector C-27, D-08 or D-104 is
damaged or improperly engaged, the short spring
may not be released when the connector is
connected.

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

(1)

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the
scan tool P.52B-31."

(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 54D,

Diagnosis P.54D-17).

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).

STEP 3. Check SRS-ECU connector C-27, curtain air bag
module (RH) connector D-104 and intermediate connector
D-08. (Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code.)

(1)

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

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 B1B23 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-08 intermediate connector (connection
between curtain air bag harness and floor harness).
