Pinpoint Test P: DTC B1877/B1885 - Seat Belt Driver PRETENSIONER Circuit Open Fault/Seat Belt Driver PRETENSIONER Circuit Low Resistance On Squib Fault
- P1 CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND DTCs WARNING: Restraint system diagnostic tools are for service only. Tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road. Failure to remove restraint system diagnostic tools could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.WARNING: The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Yes : GO to P5.
No : REPAIR circuit 91S-JA33 (BK/BU). GO to P8.
- P5 CHECK CIRCUIT 15S-JA33 (GN/BU) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between RCM C2041a-17, circuit 15S-JA33 (GN/BU), harness side and driver safety belt buckle pretensioner C323-1, circuit 15S-JA33 (GN/BU), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 0.5 ohm?
Yes : GO to P6.
No : REPAIR circuit 15S-JA33 (GN/BU). GO to P8.
- P6 CONFIRM THE RCM FAULT NOTE: Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tools, sensor electrical connectors and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the on-demand self test. If not, erroneous DTCs will be recorded.
- Connect: Restraint System Diagnostic Tool 418-F395 to Driver Safety Belt Pretensioner C323.
- Connect: RCM C2041a and C2041b.
- Repower the system. Do not prove out the system at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING in this article.
