STEP 3. Check for any diagnostic trouble code. (Using
scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)
Check the front impact sensor (RH).
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Alternate the front impact sensor (RH) and front impact

sensor (LH), and then install the alternated sensors.

(3) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(4) Erase diagnostic trouble code from memory, and check the

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC U0170 set?

YES : Replace the front impact sensor (RH) with a new one.

(Refer to

P.52B-433

). Go to Step 5.

NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the harness wires for open circuit and short
circuit between SRS-ECU connector C-28 (terminal No.23
and 24) and front impact sensor (RH) connector A-53
(terminal No.2 and 1).
NOTE: After inspecting intermediate connector C-33 inspect
the wiring harness. If the intermediate connector C-33 is dam-
aged, repair or replace it.
Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector

C-28 (terminal No.23 and 24) and front impact sensor
(RH) connector A-53 (terminal No.2 and 1) in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU

connector C-28 and front impact sensor (RH)
connector A-53.

STEP 5. 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 U0171 set?

YES : Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-436

).

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

).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

DTC U0172: Side Impact Sensor (Front) (LH) Communication Error

CAUTION

If DTC U0172 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

If an impact of set value or more is detected, the side
impact sensor sends the coded acceleration data to
SRS-ECU. Based on the acceleration data,
SRS-ECU determines the necessity of side-air bag
and curtain air bag deployment, and then turns ON
the power supply circuit to the inflator.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

These DTCs are set if communication between the
side impact sensor (front) (LH) and the SRS-ECU is
not possible or faulty.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Malfunction of the side impact sensor (front) (LH)

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with

CAN communication system)

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 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 54C,

Diagnosis

P.54C-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 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

).
