TROUBLESHOOTING

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-66

CAUTION

Insert an insulator such as a cable tie to a depth
of 4 mm or more, otherwise the short spring will
not be released.
(4) Insert a cable tie [3 mm wide, 0.5 mm thick]

between terminals 5, 6 and the short spring to
release the short spring.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from
its front side directly as the connector contact
pressure may be weakened.
(5) Resistance measurement between B-35 harness

side connector terminals 5 and 6.

OK: Open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : .

Go to Step 6.

NO : .

Repair the harness wires between

SRS-ECU connector B-35 (terminal No.5
and 6) and passenger’s (front) seat belt
pre-tensioner connector C-20 (terminal No.1
and 2).

STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 28 set?

YES :

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-143

).

NO :

An intermittent malfunction is suspected
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-13

).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-67

Code No.29: Passenger's (front) seat belt pre-tensioner (squib) system (open-circuited in the squib
circuit)

OPERATION

The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and
the front air bag analogue G-sensor. If the impact is
over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an
ignition signal. At this time, if the front air bag safing
G-sensor is on, the pre-tensioner will deploy.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

This diagnosis code is set if the passenger's (front)
seat belt pre-tensioner squib wire(s) are
open-circuited. However, if no diagnosis code resets,
the SRS warning lamp will be switched off (diagnosis
code will be retained).

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Open circuit in the passenger's (front) seat belt

pre-tensioner (squib) circuit

• Improper connector contact

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the diagnosis code by connecting
a dummy resistor. (M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect passenger's (front) seat belt

pre-tensioner connector C-20. Use a flat-tipped
screwdriver to pull out the locking button at the
harness side connector, and then disconnect the
connector.

(3) Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865)

to special tool resistor harness (MB991884).

(4) Connect special tool (MB991884) to the C-20

harness side connector.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Erase diagnosis code memory, and then check

the diagnosis code.

Q: Is diagnosis code 29 set?

YES : .

Go to Step 2.

NO : .

Replace the passenger's (front) seat belt

with pre-tensioner (Refer to

P.52B-159

).

STEP 2. Resistance measurement between
SRS-ECU connector B-35 (terminal No.5 and 6)
and the passenger's (front) seat belt
pre-tensioner connector C-20 (terminal No.1 and
2)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector B-35 and

passenger's (front) seat belt pre-tensioner
connector C-20. For connector C-20, use a
flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking
button at the harness side connector, and then
disconnect the connector.

(3) Connect C-20 harness side connector to special

tool resistor harness (MB991884).

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from
its front side directly as the connector contact
pressure may be weakened.

(4) Resistance measurement between the following

terminals.

• SRS-ECU connector B-35 terminal No.5 and

the special tool terminal No.2

• SRS-ECU connector B-35 terminal No.6 and

the special tool terminal No.1

OK: Continuity (Less than 2

Ω)

Q: Are the check results normal?

YES : .

Go to Step 3.

NO : .

Repair the harness wires between

SRS-ECU connector B-35 (terminal No.5
and 6) passenger’s (front) seat belt
pre-tensioner connector C-20 (terminal No.1
and 2).

STEP 3.Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code 29 set?

YES :

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to

P.52B-143

).

NO :

An intermittent malfunction is suspected
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-13

).
