  2. 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 HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

  3. STEP 3. Check the passenger's (front) air bag module. 
    1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
    2. Disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag module connector C-14.
    3. Disconnect the connector while sliding the C-14 wiring harness side connector to the direction of the arrow.

    4. Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool MB991866.
      CAUTION: Do not insert a probe into the terminal from its front side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
    5. Insert special tool MB991866 into the harness side connector C-14 (terminal No. 1 and 2 < 1st squib > or terminal No. 3 and 4 < 2nd squib >) by backprobing.

    6. Connect the negative battery terminal.
      CAUTION: Always DTC B1B0E is set when checking DTC B1B0A. This is because the second side terminal is isolated when checking it. DTC B1B0E is set but this is not a fault. In addition, always DTC B1B0A is set when checking DTC B1B0E because the first side terminal is isolated.
    7. Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the diagnostic trouble code.

    Q: Is the checked DTC set? 

    YES  : Go to Step 4.

    NO  : Replace the passenger's air bag module. Refer to PASSENGER'S (FRONT) AIR BAG MODULE . Then go to  Step 5.

  4. STEP 4. Check the harness for open circuit between SRS-ECU connector C-37 (terminal No. 7 and 8 < 1st squib > or terminal No. 11 and 12 < 2nd squib >) and the passenger's air bag module connector C-14 (terminal No. 2 and 1 < 1st squib > or terminal No. 4 and 3 < 2nd squib >). 
    1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
    2. While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction of the arrow to release the lock lever, and disconnect the C-37 SRS-ECU connector.

      WARNING: To prevent the air bag from deploying unintentionally, disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag module connector C-14 to short the squib circuit.
    3. Disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag module connector C-14.
    4. Disconnect the connector while sliding the C-14 wiring harness side connector to the direction of the arrow.

      CAUTION: Insert an insulator such as a cable tie to a depth of 4 mm (0.16 inch) or more, otherwise the short spring will not be released.
    5. Insert a cable tie [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) thick] between terminals 7 and 8 < 1st squib > or 11 and 12 < 2nd squib >, and the short spring to release the short spring.

      CAUTION: Do not insert a probe into the terminal from C-14 harness side connector front side directly as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
    6. Check for continuity between the following terminals. It should be less than 2 ohms.
      • SRS-ECU connector C-37 (terminal No. 7) and the passenger's (front) air bag module connector C-14 (terminal No. 2) < 1st squib >
      • SRS-ECU connector C-37 (terminal No. 8) and the passenger's (front) air bag module connector C-14 (terminal No. 1) < 1st squib >

    Q: Does continuity exist? 

    YES  : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1B0A < 1st squib > or B1B0E < 2nd squib > set, replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to SRS CONTROL UNIT (SRS-ECU)  ). Then go to Step 5.

    NO  : Replace the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector C-37 and passenger's (front) air bag module connector C-14. Then go to Step 5.

  5. STEP 5. 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 DTC B1B0A < 1st squib > or B1B0E < 2nd squib > set? 

    YES  : Return to  Step 1.

    NO  : The procedure is complete.
