TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-89

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the diagnosis code by connecting
a dummy resistor. (M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect passenger's (front) seat belt

pre-tensioner connector D-03 <LHD> or D-16
<RHD>. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out
the locking button at the harness side connector,
and then disconnect the connector.

(3) Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865)

to special tool resistor harness (MB991884).

(4) Connect special tool (MB991884) to the D-03

<LHD> or D-16 <RHD> harness side connector.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Erase diagnosis code memory, and then check

the diagnosis code.

Q: Is diagnosis code 68 set?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Replace the passenger's (front) seat belt
with pre-tensioner (Refer to

P.52B-117

).

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at the SRS-ECU
connector C-13

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-13.

(2) Disconnect passenger's (front) seat belt

pre-tensioner connector D-03 <LHD> or D-16
<RHD>. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out
the locking button at the harness side connector,
and then disconnect the connector.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position,

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from
its front side directly as the connector contact
pressure may be weakened.
(4) Voltage measurement between C-13 harness

side connector terminals 27, 28 and body earth.

OK: 0 V

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the harness wires between
SRS-ECU connector C-13 (terminal No.27
and 28) and passenger's (front) seat belt
pre-tensioner connector D-03 <LHD> or
D-16 <RHD> (terminal No.1 and 2).

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 68 set?

YES :

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-109

).

NO :

An intermittent malfunction is suspected
(Refer to GROUP 00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).

TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-92

OPERATION

The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and
the front air bag analogue 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 seat belt pre-tensioner will
deploy.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if passenger's (front) seat
belt pre-tensioner wire(s) are short-circuited to the
earth.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to the earth in the passenger's (front) seat

belt pre-tensioner (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
