STEP 5. Check the harness wires between SRS-ECU 
connector C-120 (terminal No.52, 65 and 51) and 
passenger’s seat belt switch connector D-29 (terminal 
No.1, 2 and 3).

Q: Are harness wires between SRS-ECU connector C-120 

(terminal No.52, 65 and 51)  and passenger’s seat belt 
switch connector D-29 (terminal No.1, 2 and 3) in good 
condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector C-120 and passenger’s seat belt switch 
connector D-29. 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 B1520, B1521, B1522, B1523, B1524, B1525, 

B1526, B1527, B1528 or B1529 set?
YES : Return to Step 1. 
NO :  The procedure is complete.

B1535, B1536, B1537, B1538 or B1539 are set in 
the combination meter, always diagnose the CAN 
bus lines.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The SRS-ECU determines whether the seat belt is 
fastened or not according to the connection location 
of the seat belt switch in the seat buckle.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
DTC is set when the resistance between input termi-
nals of the seat belt switch in the SRS-ECU is with-
out the standard value.

Cause of trouble in each DTC is as follows.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the seat belt switch

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors 

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

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) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(4) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-14

). Then go to Step 2.

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
