Code No.B1451
Left curtain air bag module (squib) system (open circuit of squib circuit)
caution
If the diagnosis code B1451is
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
Open circuit to the curtain air bag module (squib) circuit
Damaged connector(s)
Malfunction of SRS-ECU
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. B1451set?
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 D-17 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 left 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. B1451 set?
Go to Step 4.
Replace the left curtain air bag module (Refer to ).
STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU connector and the left
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 left 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 CLS+,
CLS- line and the short spring, and release the short spring.
(5)Connect the resistor harness (Special tool: MB991884) to the removed left curtain air
bag module connector.
note
When the resistor harness is connected, the terminal No. of connected side and the CLS+,
CLS- line of resistor harness connector will become inverted.
(6)Take the following measurements.
Continuity CLS+ line between SRS-ECU wiring
harness side connector and the resistor harness connector
Continuity CLS- 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.
STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
Q.
Is the diagnosis code No. B1451 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 ).
