STEP 4. Check the passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner 
circuit. Measure the resistance at the SRS-ECU connector 
C-120.
(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-120.

(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.

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-120 harness side connector 

terminals 59, 60 and body ground.
It should be open circuit.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1463 sets, 
replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-365

). Then go 

to Step 6.

STEP 5. Check harness wires for short circuit to ground 
between SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal No.59 and 
60) and passenger's seat belt pre-tensioner connector 
D-33 (terminal No.1 and 2).
Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector 

C-120 (terminal No.59 and 60) and passenger's seat belt 
pre-tensioner connector D-33 (terminal No.1 and 2) in 
good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector C-120 and passenger's seat belt 
pre-tensioner connector D-33. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. 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 DTC B1463 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO :  The procedure is complete.
