STEP 4. Check the side-air bag module (LH) circuit.
Measure the voltage at the SRS-ECU connector C-27.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(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-27 SRS-ECU connector.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally,
disconnect the side-airbag module (LH) connector
D-29 to short the squib circuit.

(3) Disconnect the D-29 side-airbag module connector, unlock

the connector by sliding the locking button to the direction of
the arrow as shown in the figure, and then disconnect the
connector.

CAUTION

Insert an insulator such as a cable tie to a depth of 4mm
(0.16 inch) or more, otherwise the short spring will not be
released.
(4) Insert a cable tie [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch)

thick] between terminals 31, 32 and the short spring to
release the short spring.

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

(7) Measure the voltage between C-27 harness side connector

terminals 31, 32 and body ground.
Voltage should measure 1 volt or less.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1C28 sets,
replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to

P.52B-436

). Then go

to Step 6.

NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the harness wires for short circuit to power
supply between SRS-ECU connector C-27 (terminal No.31
and 32 and side-air bag module (LH) connector D-29
(terminal No.2 and 1).
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU

connector C-27 and side-air bag module (LH)
connector D-29. Then go to Step 6.

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 B1C28 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO : The procedure is complete.

DTC B1C29: Side-air bag Module (LH) (Squib) System (Squib Circuit Open)

CAUTION

If DTC B1C29 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN bus lines.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is

by detecting signals from the side impact sensor
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 side-air bag

module to inflate the side-air bag.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance
between the input terminals of the side-air bag mod-
ule (LH) (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Open circuit in the side-air bag module (squib)

(LH) 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

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 "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,

Diagnosis

P.54C-17

).
