TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-90

Code No.64: Passenger's (front) air bag module (squib) system (short-circuited to the power supply)

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 

to inflate the air bag.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if the passenger's (front) 
air bag squib wire(s) are short-circuited to the power 
supply.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Short to the power supply in the passenger's 

(front) air bag module (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP1. Check the diagnosis code by connecting 
a dummy resistor. (M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Unclip passenger’s (front) air bag module 

connector B-06.

(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) Disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag 

module connector B-06, and insert special tool 
(MB991866) into the 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 64 set?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Replace the passenger's (front) air bag 
module (Refer to 

P.52B-145

).

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at the SRS-ECU 
connector B-35.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

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

CAUTION

To prevents the air bag from deploying uninten-
tionally, disconnect the passenger’s (front) air 
bag module connector B-06 to short the squib 
circuit.
(3) Disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag 

module connector B-06.

(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 9, 10 and body earth.

OK: 0 V

Q: Is the check result normal? 

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Repair the harness wires between 
SRS-ECU connector B-35 (terminal No.9 
and 10) and passenger's (front) air bag 
module connector B-06 (terminal No.1 and 
2).

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 64 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

). 

Code No.65: Passenger's (front) 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 

to inflate the air bag.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if the passenger's (front) 
air bag squib wire(s) are short-circuited to the earth.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Short to the earth in the passenger's (front) air 

bag module (squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
