Code No.B1417: Front Impact Sensor (LH) Power Supply Circuit System





caution If diagnosis code B1417 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus line.

OPERATION


The front impact sensor includes an analogue G sensor and CPU, etc. The CPU monitors the analogue G sensor output signal. If the CPU judges that the front air bags should be deployed, it sends a fire signal to the SRS-ECU to deploy the front air bags. In addition, the CPU diagnoses the internal components of the front impact sensor. If a malfunction occurs, it requests the SRS-ECU to set a diagnosis code.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


This diagnosis code will set when the power supply voltage to the front impact sensor (LH) remains less than a predetermined value for five seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


Use the 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 54F, Diagnosis ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Ignition: LOCK (OFF) position to ON
(3)On completion, check that the diagnosis code is not reset.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Go to Step 3.
There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 3. Check the harness wires for open circuit or short circuit between SRS-ECU connector C-119 (terminal No.38 and 39) and front impact sensor (LH) connector A-22 (terminal No.1 and 2).






note After inspecting intermediate connector C-124 inspect the wiring harness. If the intermediate connector C-124 is damaged, repair or replace it.

Q. Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector C-119 (terminal No.38 and 39) and front impact sensor (LH) (front) connector A-22 (terminal No.1 and 2) in good condition?

Go to Step 4.

Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector C-119 (terminal No.38 and 39) and front impact sensor (LH) connector A-22 (terminal No.1 and 2).

STEP 4. Check the front impact sensor (LH) (M.U.T.-III diagnosis code).


(1)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2)Replace the front impact sensor (LH) with the front impact sensor (RH).
(3)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(4)Erase diagnosis code memory, and check the diagnosis code.

Q. Is diagnosis code B1417 set?

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
Replace the front impact sensor (LH) with a new one (Refer to ). Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Q. Is diagnosis code B1417 set?

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
An intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
