SRS DTC 41-1x
DTC 41-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F) : No Signal From the Left Front Impact Sensor
Special Tools Required
SRS Inflator Simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
SRS Simulator Lead L 070AZ-SNAA300
- Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, find out if the vehicle was in a collision. If so, verify that all the required components were replaced with new components, of the correct part number, and that they were properly installed .
- Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures , General Troubleshooting Information , and Battery Terminal Disconnection and Reconnection .
- Before replacing the SRS unit, check the SRS unit software version with the HDS. If the software version is not the latest, update the SRS unit software , and retest.
- Circuit of the front impact sensor has a automatic short connector in the dashboard wire harness between dashboard wire harness and engine compartment wire harness. When check the dashboard wire harness, connect it to known-good engine compartment wire harness to cancel automatic shorting, and use a back probe adapter.

- Shorted wire check (LFS+ line to LFS- line)
-1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.
-2. Disconnect the following connectors.
SRS unit connector A (39P) Left front impact sensor 2P connector (on the engine compartment wire harness) -3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition OFF mode SRS unit connector A (39P): disconnected Left front impact sensor 2P connector (on the engine compartment wire harness): disconnected Test circuit LFS+, LFS- Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 28 Test point 2 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 29 Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?
YES
The LFS+ and LFS- wires are not shorted. Go to step 5.
NO
Short to another wire in the engine compartment wire harness or the dashboard wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.
- Shorted wire check (LFS+, LFS- lines)
-1. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition OFF mode SRS unit connector A (39P): disconnected Left front impact sensor 2P connector (on the engine compartment wire harness): disconnected Test circuit LFS+ Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 28 Test point 2 Body ground Test circuit LFS- Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 29 Test point 2 Body ground Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?
YES
The LFS+ and LFS- wires are not shorted. Go to step 6.
NO
Short to ground in the engine compartment wire harness or the dashboard wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.
- Shorted wire check (LFS+, LFS- lines to power)
-1. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
-2. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
-3. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition ON mode SRS unit connector A (39P): disconnected Left front impact sensor 2P connector (on the engine compartment wire harness): disconnected Test circuit LFS+ Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 28 Test point 2 Body ground Test circuit LFS- Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 29 Test point 2 Body ground Is there 0.2 V or less?
YES
The LFS+ and LFS- wires are not shorted to power. Go to step 7.
NO
Short to power in the engine compartment wire harness or the dashboard wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.
- Open wire check (LFS+, LFS- lines)
-1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
-2. Connect the black terminal (A) of SRS simulator lead L to the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector), then connect SRS simulator lead L to the left front impact sensor 2P connector (B) on the engine compartment wire harness.
-3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition OFF mode SRS unit connector A (39P): disconnected Left front impact sensor 2P connector (on the engine compartment wire harness): disconnected Left front impact sensor 2P connector (on the engine compartment wire harness): connected to SRS simulator lead L Test circuit LFS+, LFS- Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 28 Test point 2 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 29 Is there 1.0 Ω or less?
YES
The LFS+ and LFS- wires are OK. Replace the left front impact sensor , then clear the DTC, and retest. If the DTC is still present, replace the SRS unit .
NO
Open in the engine compartment wire harness or the dashboard wire harness; replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.
