STEP 4. Resistance measurement between the 
SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal No.9 and 10) 
and the side-airbag module (LH) connector D-22 
(terminal No.1 and 2).

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-120.

(2) Disconnect side-airbag module (LH) connector 

D-22.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly, as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(3) Check for continuity between the following 

terminals.

• SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal No.9) 

and the side-airbag module (LH) connector 
D-22 (terminal No.1)

• SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal No.10) 

and the side-airbag module (LH) connector 
D-22 (terminal No.2)

OK: Less than 2 

Ω

Q: Are the check results normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5. 

NO : 

Repair the harness wires between 
SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal No.9 
and 10) and side-airbag module (LH) 
connector D-22 (terminal No.1 and 2).

STEP 5.Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code B1431 set?

YES : 

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-223

).

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-85

Code No.B1432: Side-Airbag Module (LH) (Squib) System Fault Earth Circuit (Short-Circuited to 
Earth)

CAUTION

If diagnosis code B1432 is set in the combination 
meter, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

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

• The ignition signal is input to the side-airbag 

module to inflate the side-airbag.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if there is abnormal 
resistance between the input terminals of the 
side-airbag module (LH) (squib).

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to earth in the left hand side-airbag 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 lines (Refer to GROUP 
54D, Diagnosis-Can Bus Diagnostic Chart 

P.54D-16

). .

STEP 2. 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 : 

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 side-airbag module (LH). 
(MUT-III diagnosis code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (LH) 

connector D-22.

(3) Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865) 

to special tool resistor harness (MB991866).

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly, as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(4) Insert special tool MB991866 into the D-22 

harness side connector by backprobing.

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

diagnosis code.

Q:  Is diagnosis code B1432 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Replace the seatback frame of the front 
seat (LH). (Refer to GROUP 52A, Front 
Seat 

P.52A-24

).

STEP 4. Check the side-airbag module (LH) 
circuit. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU 
connector C-120.

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-120.

(2) Disconnect side-airbag module (LH) connector 

D-22

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly, as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(3) Check for continuity between C-120 harness side 

connector terminals 9, 10 and body earth.

OK: Open circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 5.

NO : 

Repair the harness wires between 
SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal No.9 
and 10) and side-airbag module (LH) 
connector D-22 (terminal No.1 and 2).
