Mitsubishi Outlander GS45X. Manual - part 1463

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-347

CAUTION

If DTC B1B78, B1B7D, B1B82 or B1B87 is set in 
the occupant classification-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus lines.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The load data from the weight sensor is classified 
with the occupant classification-ECU, and its classi-
fied information is send to SRS-ECU by CAN bus 
line. The SRS-ECU determines the air bag deploy-
ment based on this classified information, and con-
trols the power supply circuit to the inflator. 

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if the weight sensor output voltage is 
out of the range (guideline: 1 to 3.5 V).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The weight sensor may be defective.

• Occupant classification-ECU may be defective.

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

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)

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 

P.00-15

).

STEP 3. Check occupant classification-ECU connector 
D-34-1 and weight sensor connector D-34-3, D-34-4, D-34-5 
or D-34-6 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or 
terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the component(s) (Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

).

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between occupant 
classification-ECU connector D-34-1 (terminal  3, 5, 7, and 
9) and weight sensors D-34-3, D-34-4, D-34-5, and D-34-6 
(terminal 3).
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set to the occupant classifica-
tion-ECU.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" 

position.

(3) Check if DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Replace the passenger seat cushion frame assembly 

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat Assembly 

P.52A-17

).

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

).
