SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DIAGNOSIS

52Bb-125

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

• MB991865: Dummy resister

• MB991866: Resister harness

STEP 1. Check the side-airbag module (RH).
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector F-21.

(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 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 76 set?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Replace the seat back assembly of the front seat 

(RH). (Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat 

P.52A-13

.) 

Then go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check the harness for short circuit to ground 
between SRS-ECU and the side-airbag module (RH).
(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector E-07.

(2) Disconnect side-airbag module (RH) connector F-21.

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 E-07 harness connector 

terminals 23, 24 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 76 sets, replace 
the SRS-ECU. (Refer to 

P.52Ba-31

.) Then go to Step 

4.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the harness wires for short circuit to 
ground between SRS-ECU connector E-07 (terminal No.23 
and 24) and side-airbag module (RH) connector F-21 
(terminal No.1 and 2).
Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector E-

07 (terminal No.23 and 24) and side-airbag module (RH) 
connector F-21 (terminal No.1 and 2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector E-07 and side-airbag module (RH) 
connector F-21. Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code. 
Q: Is DTC 76 set?

YES : Return to Step 1. 
NO :  The procedure is complete. (If no malfunctions are not 

found in all steps, an intermittent malfunction is 
suspected. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction
