TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-56

Code No.B1413 Passenger’s (Front) Air Bag Module (1st Squib) System Fault for Power Supply 
Circuit (Short-Circuited to Power Supply)
Code No.B1493: Passenger’s (Front) Air Bag Module (2nd Squib) System Fault for Power Supply 
Circuit (Short-Circuited to Power Supply)

CAUTION

If diagnosis code B1413 <1st squib> or B1493 
<2nd squib> is set in the SRS-ECU, always 
diagnose the CAN main bus line.

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

• The ignition signal is input to the air bag module 

via the clock spring to inflate the air bag.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if there is abnormal 
resistance between the input terminals of the 
passenger's air bag module (squib). However, if no 
diagnosis code resets, the SRS warning lamp will be 
switched off (diagnosis code will be retained). 

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Short to the power supply in the passenger's air 

bag module (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. MUT-III CAN bus diagnostics

Use the MUT-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 
54D, Diagnosis 

P.54D-16

).

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnosis code.

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 : 

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.00-5

).

STEP 3. Check the passenger's air bag module. 
(MUT-III diagnosis code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect the passenger’s air bag module 

connector C-108.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly, as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(3) Insert special tool MB991866 into the harness 

side connector C-108 (terminal No.1 and 2 <1st 
squib> or terminal No.3 and 4 <2nd squib>) by 
backprobing.

(4) Connect the negative battery terminal.

CAUTION

Always diagnosis code B1491 is set when 
checking diagnosis code B1413. This is because 
the second side terminal is isolated when 
checking it, diagnosis code B1491 is set but this 
is not a fault. In addition, always diagnosis code 
B1411 is set when checking diagnosis code 
B1493 because the first side terminal is isolated. 
(5) Erase the diagnosis code memory, and check the 

diagnosis code.

Q: Is the checked diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Replace the passenger's air bag module. 
(Refer to 

P.52B-225

). Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the passenger’s air bag module 
circuit. Measure the voltage at the SRS-ECU 
connector C-119.

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-119.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying 
unintentionally, disconnect the passenger’s 
air bag module connector C-108 to short the 
squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect the passenger's air bag module 

connector C-108.

(3) Slide the outer housing of the clock spring side of 

passenger’s air bag module connector C-108 in 
the arrow direction shown, and disconnect the 
connector.

(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) Measure the voltage between C-119 harness 

side connector terminals 27 and 28 <1st squib> 
or 30 and 31 <2nd squib> and body earth.

OK: 0 V

TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-59

YES : 

Erase the diagnosis code memory, and 

check the diagnosis code. If diagnosis code 
B1413 <1st squib> B1493 <2nd squib> 
sets, replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to 

P.52B-223

). Then go to Step 5.

NO : 

Replace the harness wires between 
SRS-ECU connector C-119 and 
passenger's air bag module connector 
C-109. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset. 

Q: Is diagnosis code B1413 <1st squib> B1493 <2nd 

squib> set?

YES : 

Return to Step 1.

NO : 

The procedure is complete.

Code No.B1417: Front Impact Sensor (LH) Power Supply Circuit System

CAUTION

If diagnosis code B1417 is set in the SRS-ECU, 
always diagnose the CAN main bus line.

OPERATION

The front impact sensor includes an analog G sensor 
and CPU, etc. The CPU monitors the analog G 
sensor output signal. If the CPU judges that the front 
air bags should be deployed, it sends a fire signal to 
the SRS-ECU to deploy the front air bags. In 
addition, the CPU diagnoses the internal 
components of the front impact sensor. If a 
malfunction occurs, it requests the SRS-ECU to set a 
diagnosis code.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code will set when the power supply 
voltage to the front impact sensor (LH) remains less 
than a predetermined value for five seconds. 
However, if the system returns to normal condition, 
code number B1417 will be erased automatically and 
the SRS warning lamp will go out.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness or connectors

• Malfunction of the front impact sensor (LH)

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
