STEP 3. Voltage measurement at the SRS-ECU 
connector B-35.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector B-35.

DANGER

To prevents the air bag from deploying unin-
tentionally, disconnect the clock spring con-
nector B-136 to short the squib circuit.

(3) Disconnect the clock spring connector B-136.
(4) Connect the negative battery terminal.

(5) 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.
(6) Voltage measurement between B-35 harness 

side connector terminals 11, 12 and body earth.

OK: 0 V

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Repair the harness wires between 
SRS-ECU connector B-35 (terminal No.11 
and 12) and clock spring connector B-136 
(terminal No.3 and 4). 

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 61 set?

YES : 

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-143

).

NO : 

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

P.00-13

).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

Code No.62: Driver's air bag module (squib) system (short-circuited to the earth)

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 the driver's air bag squib 
wire(s) are short-circuited to the earth. 

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the clock spring

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Short to the earth in the driver's air bag module 

(squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the diagnosis code by connecting 
a dummy resistor. (M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) By sliding the A section (in the figure) of air bag 

module connector B-138 in arrow direction, 
disconnect the connector.

(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 clock spring 

side air bag module connector B-138 by 
backprobing.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.

(6) Erase the diagnosis code memory, and check the 

diagnosis code.

Q:  Is diagnosis code 62 out put?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Replace the driver’s air bag module (Refer 
to 

P.52B-145

). 

STEP 2. Check the diagnosis code by connecting 
a dummy resistor. (M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect the clock spring connector B-136.

(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 clock spring 

harness side connector B-136 (terminal No.3 and 
4) by backprobing.

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

diagnosis code.

Q:  Is diagnosis code 62 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Replace the clock spring (Refer to 

P.52B-145

).
