DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

｠

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

｠

｠

MB991817: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

｠

MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with
CAN Communication System)

｠

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).

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 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).

STEP 3. Check the passenger's air bag module. (Using scan
tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)

(1)

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2)

Disconnect the passenger’s (front) air bag module connector
C-11.

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.

(5)

Insert special tool MB991866 into the harness side connector
C-11 (terminal No.1 and 2 <1st squib> or terminal No.3 and
4 <2nd squib>) by backprobing.

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

(6)

Connect the negative battery terminal.

Always DTC B1B0E is set when checking DTC B1B0A. This
is because the second side terminal is isolated when
checking it. DTC B1B0E is set but this is not a fault. In
addition, always DTC B1B0A is set when checking DTC
B1B0E because the first side terminal is isolated.

(7)

Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the
diagnostic trouble code.

Q:Is the checked DTC set?

YES:

Go to Step 4.

NO:

Replace the passenger's air bag module. (Refer to P.

52B-329). Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the harness for open circuit between SRS-
ECU connector C-28 (terminal No.7 and 8 <1st squib> or
terminal No.11 and 12 <2nd squib>) and the passenger's air
bag module connector C-11 (terminal No.2 and 1 <1st
squib> or terminal No.4 and 3 <2nd squib>).

(1)

Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-28.

(2)

While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the
harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction of
the arrow to release the lock lever, and disconnect the C-28
SRS-ECU connector.

(3)

Unclip passenger’s (front) air bag module connector C-11.

(4)

Disconnect the passenger’s (front) air bag module connector
C-11.

Do not insert a probe into the terminal from C-11 harness
side connector front side directly as the connector contact
pressure may be weakened.

(6)

Check for continuity between the following terminals. It
should be less than 2 ohms.

Q:Does continuity exist?

YES:

Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1B0A <1st squib> or
B1B0E <2nd squib> set, replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to P.
52B-326). Then go to Step 5.

NO:

Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector

C-28 and passenger’s (front) air bag module connector
C-11. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
