- Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Disable air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
- Disconnect passenger-side seat belt pretensioner connector D-39. See Figure. Connect Load Resistor (MB991865) to Load Resistor Harness (MB991884). Connect load resistor harness to connector D-39. Connect negative battery cable. Using scan tool erase, then retrieve DTC's. If DTC 69 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC 69 is not retrieved, replace passenger-side seat belt pretensioner. See SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step 4.
- Disconnect SRS ECU connector C-114. Remove load resistor harness from connector D-39. Check for continuity between ground and SRS ECU connector C-114, terminals No. 27 (Red/Yellow wire) and No. 28 (Red/Blue wire). If continuity is not found in either circuit, erase, then retrieve DTC's using scan tool. If DTC 69 is retrieved, replace SRS ECU. See SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (SRS ECU) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step 4. If continuity exists in one or both circuits, replace wire harness between SRS ECU and passenger-side seat belt pretensioner. Go to next step.
- Reconnect all SRS components. Using scan tool, check for DTC's. If DTC 69 is retrieved, go to step 1. If DTC 69 is not retrieved, system is normal at this time. Intermittent condition may exist.
