Code No. B1442:
Right curtain air bag module (squib) system (shorted to squib circuit
earth)
caution |
If diagnosis code No. B1442
is set in the 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 SRS-ECU curtain air bag
module (squib) circuit is shorted to
earth.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged wiring harness and connector
- Curtain air bag module (squib) harness shorted to earth
- Malfunction of SRS-ECU
|
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 set again.
|
|
(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 diagnosis code No. B1442 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 connected, disconnect
the negative battery terminal.

|
(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 special tool dummy resistor
(MB991865) to special tool resistor harness (MB991884). (4)Connect
special tool resistor harness (MB991884) 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 diagnosis code No. B1442 set?
Go to Step 4.
Replace the right curtain air bag
module.
|
|
STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU connector
|
|
(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
If the negative battery
terminal is connected, disconnect it.
|
|
(2)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)Check the continuity between SRS-ECU wiring harness side
connector CRS-, CRS+ line
and body earth. OK: No continuity
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Repair the wiring
harness.
|
|
STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code No. B1442 set?
|
|
Replace SRS-ECU.
