STEP 2. Check the harness for open circuit between
SRS-ECU connector E-08 (terminal No.9 and 10) and the
passenger's side air bag module connector D-11 (terminal
No.1 and 2).
(1) Unclip passenger’s air bag module connector D-11.
(2) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector E-08 and passenger's air

bag module connector D-11.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front
side directly as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
(3) Check for continuity between the following terminals.

• Between connector E-08 terminal 9 and connector D-11

terminal 1

• Between connector E-08 terminal 10 and connector

D-11 terminal 2

(4) 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 25 sets, replace
the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-215

). Then go to Step

3.

NO : Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU

connector E-08 and passenger’s side air bag module
connector D-11. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC 25 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete. (If no malfunctions are not

found in all steps, an intermittent malfunction is
suspected. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-6

).

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and
the front air bag analog G-sensor. If the impact is
over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU outputs an
ignition signal. At this time, if the front air bag safing
G-sensor is on, the pre-tensioner will deploy.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance
between the input terminals of the driver's seat belt
pre-tensioner (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HITS

• Improper engaged connector or defective short

spring*

• Short circuit between the driver's seat belt preten-

sioner (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-3

). Therefore, if connector E-07 or

F-27 is damaged or improperly engaged, the short
spring may not be released when the connector is
connected.

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B (Vehicles without

CAN communication system)

• MB991865: Dummy resister

STEP 1. Check the diagnostic trouble code.

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) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOOK (OFF)" position.
Q: Is DTC 34 set?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check the SRS-ECU connector E-07.
Q: Is the connector correctly engaged?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Engage the connector correctly. Then go to Step 7.
