SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-108

STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, diagnose the 
CAN bus line.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool 
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958. Refer to "How to 

connect the diagnostic tool 

P.52B-19

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : Go to Step 2
NO :  Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis-Can Bus Diagnostic Chart ).

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC 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 Use Troubleshooting/Inspection 
Service Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunctions ).

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-109

STEP 3. Check the side-airbag module (RH). (Using 
diagnostic tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble 
code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector D-32.

(3) Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool 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-32 harness side 

connector by testprobe.

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

diagnostic trouble code. 

Q: Is DTC B1423 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the seatback frame of the front seat (RH) 

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat 

P.52A-33

). Then 

go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the side-airbag module (RH) circuit. 
Measure the resistance at the SRS-ECU connector D-26.
(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector D-26.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally, 
disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector 
D-32 to short the squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect side-airbag module (RH) connector D-32.

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 D-26 harness side connector 

terminals 57, 58 and body ground.
It should be open circuit.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1423 sets, 
replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-234

). Then go 

to Step 6.

STEP 5. Check the harness wires for short circuit to 
ground between SRS-ECU connector D-26 (terminal No.57 
and 58) and side-airbag module (RH) connector D-32 
(terminal No.1 and 2).
Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector 

D-26 (terminal No.57 and 58) and side-airbag module 
(RH) connector D-32 (terminal No.1 and 2) in good 
condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector D-26 and side-airbag module (RH) 
connector D-32. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code. 
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is DTC B1423 set?

YES : Return to Step 1. 
NO :  The procedure is complete.
