SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-141

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 Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

STEP 3. Check the side-airbag module (RH). (Using scan 
tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector D-32.

(3) Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool 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 the D-32 harness side 

connector by backprobing.

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

diagnostic trouble code. 

Q: Is DTC B1423 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the seatback frame of the front seat (RH). 

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat 

P.52A-26

). Then 

go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the side-airbag module (RH) circuit. 
Measure the resistance at the SRS-ECU connector C-120.

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-120.

DANGER

To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally, 
disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector 
D-32 to short the squib circuit.

(2) Disconnect side-airbag module (RH) connector D-32.

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 57, 58 and body ground.

It should be open circuit.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1423 sets, 
replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to 

P.52B-365

). Then go 

to Step 6.

NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the harness wires for short circuit to 
ground between SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal 
No.57 and 58) and side-airbag module (RH) connector D-32 
(terminal No.1 and 2).

Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector 

C-120 (terminal No.57 and 58) and side-airbag module 
(RH) connector D-32 (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 side-airbag module (RH) 
connector D-32. 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 B1423 set?

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