SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-73

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

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

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

module connector C-201 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 C-201 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-110

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

(2) Disconnect the clock spring connector C-205.

(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 C-205 (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-110

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the
SRS-ECU connector C-12

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-12.

DANGER

To prevents the air bag from deploying unin-
tentionally, disconnect the clock spring con-
nector C-205 to short the squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect the clock spring connector C-205.

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-12 harness side

connector terminals 11, 12 and body earth.

OK: Open circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Repair the harness wires between
SRS-ECU connector C-12 (terminal No.11
and 12) and clock spring connector C-205
(terminal No.3 and 4).

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 62 set?

YES :

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-109

NO :

An intermittent malfunction is suspected
(Refer to GROUP 00

TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-75

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 outputs 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.-II/III diagnosis code)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

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

connector C-106.

(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 C-106, 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-110

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at the SRS-ECU
connector C-12

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-12.

CAUTION

To prevents the air bag from deploying uninten-
tionally, disconnect the passenger’s (front) air
bag module connector C-106 to short the squib
circuit.
(2) Disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag

module connector C-106.

(3) 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.
(4) Voltage measurement between C-12 harness

side connector terminals 9, 10 and body earth.
