SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-95

DTC B1B10: Driver's Knee Air Bag (Squib) System (Shorted To Squib Circuit Ground)

CAUTION

If DTC B1B10 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by 
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and 
the front air bag analog 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 knee air bag module will deploy. 

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance 
between the input terminals of the knee air bag mod-
ule (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HITS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to the ground in the knee air bag module 

(squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with 

CAN Communication System)

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991884: Resister harness

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

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the 

scan tool 

P.52B-28

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

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

Diagnosis 

P.54C-14

).

STEP 2. 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 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 Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-15

).

STEP 3. Check the Knee air bag module.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect knee air bag module connector C-39. Use a 

flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the 
harness side connector by withdrawing it toward you in two 
stages, and then disconnect the connector.

(3) Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool MB991884.
(4) Connect special tool MB991884 to the C-39 harness side 

connector.

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

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1B10 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the driver’s knee air bag module (Refer to 

P.52B-398

). Then go to Step 6.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-98

STEP 4. Check the knee air bag module circuit. Measure 
the resistance at the SRS-ECU connector C-37.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the 

harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction 
of the arrow to release the lock lever, and disconnect the 
C-37 SRS-ECU connector.

DANGER

To prevent the knee air bag module from deploying 
unintentionally, disconnect the knee air bag module 
connector C-39 to short the squib circuit.

(3) Disconnect knee air bag module connector C-39. Use a 

flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the 
harness side connector by withdrawing it toward you in two 
stages, and then disconnect the connector.

CAUTION

Insert an insulator such as a cable tie to a depth of 4mm 
(0.16 inch) or more, otherwise the short spring will not be 
released.
(4) Insert a cable tie [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) 

thick] between terminals 1, 2 and the short spring to release 
the short spring.
