STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the C-28 SRS-ECU 
connector.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the 

harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction 
of the arrow to release the lock lever, and disconnect the 
C-28 SRS-ECU connector.

(3) Disconnect the center panel assembly connector C-104.

(4) Take the measurements below at the SRS-ECU harness 

side connector. It should be open circuit.

• Continuity between terminal No.18 and body ground

Q: Is it open circuit?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness between the C-28 

SRS-ECU connector terminal No. 18 and the C-104 
center panel assembly connector terminal No.11. 
Then go to Step 6

STEP 5. Resistance measurement at the C-28 SRS-ECU 
connector.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the 

harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction 
of the arrow to release the lock lever, and disconnect the 
C-28 SRS-ECU connector.

CAUTION

Do not insert a probe into the terminal from its front side 
directly, as the connector contact pressure may be weak-
ened.

(3) Check for continuity between the C-28 harness side 

connector terminal No.18 and body ground.
It should be open circuit.

Q: Is it open circuit?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-436

).

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 B1207 set?

YES : Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-436

).

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.00-15

).

CAUTION

• If DTC B1B00 <1st squib> or B1B04 <2nd 

squib> is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

• When DTC B1B00 is set in the following diag-

nosis, check the 1st squib circuit. When DTC 
B1B04 is set, check the 2nd squib circuit.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is 

by detecting signals from the front impact sensors 
and the front air bag analog G-sensor. If the 
impact is over a predetermined level, the 
SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if 
the front air bag safing G-sensor is on, the SRS 
air bag will inflate. 

• The ignition signal is sent to the air bag module 

via the clock spring to inflate the air bag.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance 
between the input terminals of the driver's air bag 
module (squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the clock spring

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Short to the ground in the driver's air bag module 

(squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with 

CAN Communication System)

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991866: Resister harness

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-46

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-28

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-17

).

STEP 2. 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 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
