Code No.B1441 Right curtain air bag module (squib) system (open circuit of squib circuit)


caution If the diagnosis code B1441 is set to SRS-ECU, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.

OPERATION


In case of side collision, when the impact exceeding the threshold is applied to the vehicle, and when the impact is simultaneously detected (turned ON) by the side impact sensor as well as by the analogue G-sensor in SRS-ECU, the electric current is supplied from SRS-ECU to the curtain air bag module (squib) of impacted side.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT


The code is set when the open circuit occurs to the SRS-ECU curtain air bag module (squib) circuit.

PROBABLE CAUSES



DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics.
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
(1)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(2)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(3)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1441 set?
Go to Step 3.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 3. Diagnosis check by dummy resistor connection.
(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.

(2)Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button of right curtain air bag module connector to the direction of the arrow. After releasing the lock, disconnect the connector.

(3)Connect the dummy resistor (Special tool: MB991865) to the resistor harness (Special tool: MB991884).
(4)Connect the resistor harness (special tool) to right curtain air bag module connector.
(5)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(7)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1441 set?

Go to Step 4.

Replace the right curtain air bag module.(Refer to .)

STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU connector and the right curtain air bag module connector.
(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.

(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 SRS-ECU connector.

(3)
danger To release SRS-ECU wiring harness side connector short spring in the following operations, disconnect curtain air bag module connector in advance, and keep the squib circuit shorted.
Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button of right curtain air bag module connector to the direction of the arrow. After releasing the lock, disconnect the connector.

(4)
caution The short spring may not be released due to the insufficient insertion. Therefore, insert the insulator for 4 mm or more.
Insert an insulator (width: 3 mm, thickness: 0.5 mm) such as cable tie between the CRS-, CRS+ line and the short spring, and release the short spring.

(5)Connect the resistor harness (Special tool: MB991884) to the removed right curtain air bag module connector.
note When the resistor harness is connected, the terminal No. of connected side and the CRS-, CRS+ line of resistor harness connector will become inverted.

(6)Take the following measurements.

  • Continuity CRS- line between SRS-ECU wiring harness side connector and the resistor harness connector
  • Continuity CRS+ line between SRS-ECU wiring harness side connector and the resistor harness connector
OK: Continuity (less than 2 Ω)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the wiring harness CRS-, CRS+ line between the SRS-ECU harness side connector.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1441 set?
Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
Intermittent Malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
