DTC 34-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Open in the Right Side Curtain Airbag Inflator; DTC 34-2x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Increased Resistance in the Right Side Curtain Airbag Inflator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special Tools Required

SRS Inflator Simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
SRS Simulator Lead L 070AZ-SNAA300

NOTE:

Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ), General Troubleshooting Information (see DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES) ).
Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ), General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ), and 12 Volt Battery Terminal Disconnection and Reconnection (see 12 VOLT 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 (see SRS UNIT UPDATE ) and retest.

Clear the DTC memory (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS ).
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then wait for 10 seconds.
Check for DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS ).
Is DTC 34-1x or 34-2x indicated?

YES -Go to step 4.

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Do the 12 volt battery terminal disconnection procedure (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ), then wait at least 3 minutes.
Disconnect the floor wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side curtain airbag connector (B) (see step 6 ).

Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 Ω connectors) and simulator lead L to the floor wire harness.
Do the 12 volt battery terminal reconnection procedure (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
Clear the DTC memory (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS ).
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then wait for 10 seconds.
Read the DTC (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS ).
Is DTC 34-1x or 34-2x indicated?

YES -Go to step 12.

NO -Open or increased resistance in the right side curtain airbag inflator, replace the right side curtain airbag (see SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ), then clear the DTC.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Do the 12 volt battery terminal disconnection procedure (see 12 VOLT BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ), then wait at least 3 minutes.
Disconnect SRS unit connector B (39P) from the SRS unit (see step 10 ).
Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead. Do not disconnect the simulator lead from the floor wire harness 2P connector.
Measure the resistance between the terminals of the black SRS simulator lead (A). There should be less than 1.0 Ω.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector B (39P) and the SRS unit. Check the connection; if the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Open or increased resistance in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.
