TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-191

CAUTION

If DTC B1461 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 pre-tensioner will deploy. 

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance 
between the input terminals of the passenger's seat 
belt pre-tensioner (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HITS

• Open circuit in the passenger's seat belt pre-ten-

sioner (squib) circuit

• Improper connector contact

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

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

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991884: Resister harness (For Pre-tensioner)

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-30

."

(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 ).

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 ).

STEP 3. Check the passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner. 
(Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble 
code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner connector 

D-33. 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 D-33 harness side 

connector.

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

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1461 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner 

(Refer to
