Code No.69: Passenger’s (front) seat belt pre-tensioner
(squib) system (short-circuited to the earth)
![](../../../img/52/W4X52X008A00ENG.png)
OPERATION
The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and the front air bag
analog G-sensor. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the
SRS-ECU outputs 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 seat belt pre-tensioner wire(s) are
short-circuited to the earth.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
- Short to the earth in the Passenger’s seat belt
pre-tensioner (squib) harness
- Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
|
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 intermediate
connector C-148 (pre-tensioner harness and instrument panel
harness connection).

|
(3)Connect special tool dummy
resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness
(MB991866). (4)Connect special tool (MB991866) to the
C-148 harness side connector by backprobing. (5)Connect
the negative battery terminal. (6)Erase diagnosis code
memory, and check the diagnosis code.

(4)
caution |
Do not insert a test probe
into the terminal from its front side directly
as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
|
Resistance measurement between C-147 harness side
connector terminals 7, 8 and body earth. OK:
Open circuit
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4
.
Repair the
harness wire between SRS-ECU connector C-147 (terminal No. 7
and 8) and harness side connector C-148 (terminal No. 3 and
4).
|
|
STEP 3. Resistance measurement at intermediate connector
C-148.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.

(2)Disconnect intermediate
connector C-148 (pre-tensioner harness and instrument panel
harness connection).
|

|
(3)Disconnect driver’s seat
belt pre-tensioner connector D-19. Use a flat-tipped
screwdriver to pull out the locking button at the harness
side connector, and then disconnect the connector.

caution |
Do not insert a test probe
into the terminal from its front side directly
as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
|
Resistance measurement between C-148 harness side
connector terminals 3, 4 and body earth. OK:
Open circuit
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4
.
Repair the
harness wire between pre-tensioner side connector (terminal
No. 3 and 4) and driver’s seat belt pre-tensioner
connector D-19 (terminal No. 1 and 2).
|
|
STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code 67 set?
|
|
Replace the SRS-ECU
(Refer to ).
|
|
|
|
An intermittent
malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
