DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Perform the troubleshooting to the set 

diagnosis code. (Refer to 

P.52B-12

).

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness between SRS-ECU 
connector C-131 (terminal No.8) and the 
combination meter connector C-113 (terminal 
No.18).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair the harness wires. Then go to Step 
4.

STEP 3. Check the SRS warning lamp.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnected the SRS-ECU connector C-131.
(3) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(4) 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.
(5) Check that SRS warning lamp turn "ON" when 

SRS-ECU connector C-131 is disconnected. 
Check that the same warning lamp turn "OFF" 
when the terminal No.8 of the above connector is 
earthed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4

NO : 

Replace the combination meter (Refer to 
GROUP 54A, Combination Meter Assembly 
). 

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Ignition: "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON"
(3) On completion, check that the diagnosis code is 

not reset.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-

266

).

NO : 

An intermittent malfunction is suspected 
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with 
Intermittent Malfunction ).

OPERATION

• When the left and right front impact sensors 

detect a collision, the switches inside the sensors 
turn ON. 

• 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 sends an ignition signal. At this time, if the 
front air bag safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air 
bag will inflate. 

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
These diagnosis codes are set if these are abnormal 
resistance between the input terminals of the front 
impact sensors.
The most likely causes for these codes to be set are 
shown in the table below:

Code No.

Trouble causes

B1595

Right front impact sensor or its wiring shorted

B1596

Right front impact sensor or wiring open circuit

B1597

Short to body earth in the right front impact sensor harness

B1598

Short to the power supply in the right front impact sensor harness

B1599

Left front impact sensor or its wiring shorted

TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Front impact sensor failed

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the front impact sensor.
 Refer to 

P.52B-264

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Check the harness wires for open or short 
circuit between intermediate connector and 
front impact sensor, and repair if necessary. 
Then replace the front impact sensor (Refer 
to 

P.52B-263

).

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at the SRS-
ECU connector C-131.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
