SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DIAGNOSIS

52Bb-129

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The side impact sensor includes an analog G sensor 
and CPU, etc. The CPU monitors the analog G sen-
sor output signal. If the CPU judges that the side-air-
bags should be deployed, it sends a fire signal to the 
SRS-ECU to deploy the side-airbags. Besides that, 
the CPU diagnoses the internal components of the 
side impact sensor. If a malfunction occurs, it 
requests the SRS-ECU to set a diagnostic trouble 
code.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
These DTC are set if communication between the 
side impact sensor (LH) and the SRS-ECU is not 
possible or communication is faulty.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Malfunction of the side impact sensor (LH)

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Check the side impact sensor (LH).
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Replace the side impact sensor (LH) with the side impact 

sensor (RH).

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

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC 89 or 96 set?

YES : Replace the side impact sensor (LH) with a new one. 

(Refer to 

P.52Ba-42

.) Then go to Step 3.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness wires for open circuit or short 
circuit between SRS-ECU connector E-07 (terminal No.34 
and 36) and side impact sensor (LH) connector F-13 
(terminal No.1 and 2).
NOTE:  After inspecting intermediate connector E-19 inspect 
the wiring harness. If the intermediate connector E-19 is dam-
aged, repair or replace it. (Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Con-
nector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.) Then go to Step 3. If harness wires 

are in good condition, go to Step 3. If any harness wires 
between SRS-ECU connector E-07 and side impact sensor 
(LH) connector F-13 are damaged, repair them or install the 
sensor cable. Refer to 

P.52Ba-42

. Then go to Step 3.

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DIAGNOSIS

52Bb-130

Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector E-

07 (terminal No.34 and 36) and side impact sensor (LH) 
connector F-13 (terminal No.1 and 2) in good condition?
YES : 
Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC 79 or 93 sets, 
replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to 

P.52Ba-31

.) Then go 

to Step 3.

NO :  Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector E-07 and side impact sensor (LH) 
connector F-13. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC 79 or 93 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

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DIAGNOSIS

52Bb-131

DTC 81: Left Hand Side-Air Bag Module (Squib) System Fault 1 (Short Circuit between Terminals of 
the Squib Circuit)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is 

by detecting signals from the left and right side 
impact sensors. If the impact is over a predeter-
mined level, the SRS-ECU outputs an ignition 
signal. At this time, if the side-airbag safing G-
sensor is on, the SRS side-airbag will inflate.

• The ignition signal is input to the side-airbag 

module to inflate the side-airbag.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance 
between the input terminals of the side-airbag mod-
ule (LH) (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Improper engaged connector or defective short 

bar*

• Short circuit between the left-side air bag module 

(squib) circuit terminals

• Damaged connector(s)

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DIAGNOSIS

.

NOTE:  *: The squib circuit connectors integrate a 
"short" bar (which prevents the air bag from deploy-
ing unintentionally due to static electricity by shorting 
the positive wire to the ground wire in the squib cir-
cuit when the connectors are disconnected). (Refer 
to 

P.52Ba-2

.) Therefore, if connector E-07 or F-15 

damaged or improperly engaged, the short bar may 
not be released when the connector is connected. 

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

• MB991865: Dummy resister

• MB991866: Resister harness

STEP 1. Check the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC 34 set?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 2. Check SRS-ECU connector E-07.
Q: Is the connector correctly engaged?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Engage the connector correctly. Then go to Step 7.
