DTC B15C4: Airbag Signal Malfunction/Not Input [10/2014 - ]: Procedure
- CHECK DTC (AIRBAG SYSTEM)
- Turn the engine switch off.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait for 10 seconds.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Check the DTC of "AIRBAG SYSTEM" (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2014 - ]
).
Result
Result Proceed to DTC B15C4 is not output. A DTC B15C4 is output. B
Result:
B
GO TO AIRBAG SYSTEM
(Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2014 - ] )
Result:
A
See step 2
- INSPECT DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) (GSW SIGNAL)
- Remove the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) but do not disconnect the connectors (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ]
).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E11-24 (GSW) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 6.5 to 8.5 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(DCM (Telematics Transceiver))REFERENCE WAVEFORMItem Condition Tester connection E11-24 (GSW) - Body ground Tool setting 5.0 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV. Vehicle condition Engine switch on (IG) Result
Result Proceed to 8.5 V or higher A Below 6.5 V B 6.5 V to 8.5 V C
Result:
B
See step 4
Result:
C
See step 5
Result:
A
See step 3
- Remove the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) but do not disconnect the connectors (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ]
).
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR OPEN CIRCUIT)
- Remove the airbag ECU assembly but do not disconnect the connectors (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ]
).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition K4-3 (GSW3) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 8.5 V or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Airbag ECU Assembly)REFERENCE WAVEFORMItem Condition Tester connection K4-3 (GSW3) - Body ground Tool setting 5.0 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV. Vehicle condition Engine switch on (IG)
Result:
OK
REPLACE AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY
(Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
- Remove the airbag ECU assembly but do not disconnect the connectors (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ]
).
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR SHORT CIRCUIT)
- Disconnect the E11 DCM (Telematics Transceiver) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E11-24 (GSW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result:
NG
See step 7
Result:
OK
See step 5
- REPLACE DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER)
- Replace the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ]
).NOTE:
- The engine switch must be off.
- Do not replace the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) with one from another vehicle.
Result:
NEXT
See step 6
- Replace the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ]
).
- PERFORM PRL UPDATE
- Perform "PRL UPDATE" (Refer to PRL UPDATE [10/2014 - ] ).
Result:
NEXT
PERFORM DCM ACTIVATION
(Refer to DCM ACTIVATION [10/2014 - ] )
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the E11 DCM (Telematics Transceiver) connector.
- Disconnect the K4 airbag ECU assembly connector (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] ).
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E11-24 (GSW) - K4-3 (GSW3) Always Below 1 Ω E11-24 (GSW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result:
OK
REPLACE AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY
(Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
