DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the passenger's seat belt 
pre-tensioner. (Check whether the diagnosis 
code is reset.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner 

connector D-29. 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-43 

harness side connector.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.

(6) Erase diagnosis code memory, and then check 

the diagnosis code.

Q: Is diagnosis code 69 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Replace the passenger's seat belt 
pre-tensioner. (Refer to 

P.52B-188

). Then 

go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Measure the resistance at the SRS-ECU 
connector C-114.

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-114.

(2) Disconnect passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner 

connector D-29. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to 
pull out the locking button at the harness side

connector, and then disconnect the connector.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(3) Measure the resistance between C-114 harness 

side connector terminals 27, 28 and body earth.

OK: Open circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Erase the diagnosis code memory, and 

check the diagnosis code. If diagnosis code 
69 sets, replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-178

). Then go to Step 4       .

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Connector check: SRS-ECU connector 
C-114, passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner 
connector D-29 and intermediate connector D-44

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Check the harness wires for short circuit to 

power supply between SRS-ECU connector 
C-114 (terminal No.27 and 28) and 
passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner 
connector D-29 (terminal No.2 and 1), and 
repair if necessary. Then go to Step 4.

NO : 

Repair or replace it. than go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 69 set?

YES : 

Return to Step 1.

NO : 

The procedure is complete (If no 
malfunctions are found in all steps, an 
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer

).

Code No.71: Side air bag module (squib) (RH) system (short-circuited between terminals of the squib 
circuit)

OPERATION

•

The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is 
by detecting signals from the left and right side 
impact sensors. If the impact is over a 
predetermined level, the SRS-ECU outputs an 
ignition signal. At this time, if the side air bag 
safing G-sensor is on, the SRS side air bag will 
inflate.

•

The ignition signal is input to the side air bag 
module to inflate the side air bag.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code is set if one side air bag squib 
(RH) wire shorted to the other.

PROBABLE CAUSES

•

Improper engaged connector or defective short 
spring*

•

Short between the side air bag module (RH) 
(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 earth wire in the 
squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected). 
Therefore, if connector C-114 or D-40 is damaged or 
improperly engaged, the short spring may not be 
released when the connector is connected.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. MUT-II/III diagnosis code

CAUTION

To prevent damage to MUT-II, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting MUT-II.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOOK" (OFF) 

position.

Q: Is diagnosis code 34 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 2. Connector check: SRS-ECU connector 
C-114

Q: Is the connector correctly engaged?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Engage the connector correctly. Then go to 
Step 6.

STEP 3. Connector check: SRS-ECU connector 
C-114 and side air bag module (RH) connector 
D-40 (Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect connectors C-114 and D-40, and then 

reconnect them.

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

diagnosis code.

Q: Is diagnosis code 71 out put?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

The procedure is complete. It is assumed 
that diagnosis code 71 set as connector 
C-114 or D-40 was engaged improperly.
