    DTC Description DTC
    U3000-49 Internal failure of the SRS unit  

    Is DTC U3000-49 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

  2. Shorted wire check (SWSP line to power)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    SRS unit connector B (39P)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (front inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)

    - 4. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

    - 5. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 6. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (front inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
    Test point 1 SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26 - Refer to: SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2017 2018 2019 2020)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there 0.2 V or less?

    YES 

    The SWSP wire is not shorted to power. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Short to power in the floor wire harness or the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.

  3. Shorted wire check (SWSP line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.

    - 3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (front inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
    Test point 1 SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26 - Refer to: SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2017 2018 2019 2020),
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

    YES 

    The SWSP wire is not shorted. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Short to ground in the floor wire harness or the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.

  4. Shorted wire check (SWSP line to SWSG line)

    -1. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (front inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
      Front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness): disconnected
    Test point 1 SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26 - Refer to: SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2017 2018 2019 2020)
    Test point 2 SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 28 - Refer to: SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2017 2018 2019 2020),

    Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Short to another wire in the floor wire harness or the front passenger's seat wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.

  5. Front passenger's weight sensor check

    -1. Substitute a known-good front passenger's weight sensors as an assembly.

    - 2. Reconnect the following connectors.

    SRS unit connector B (39P)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (front inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (rear inner side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (front outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)
    Front passenger's weight sensor (rear outer side) 3P connector (on the front passenger's seat wire harness)

    - 3. Reconnect the negative cable to the 12 volt battery.

    - 4. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
