Code No.B1460: Seat Belt Pre-Tensioner (RH) (Squib) System Fault 1
(Short Circuit between Terminals of the Squib Circuit)
![](../../../img/52/W4X52E018A00ENG.png)
caution |
If diagnosis code B1460 is set in the
SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus line.
|
OPERATION
The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by
detecting signals from the front impact sensors and the front air bag
analogue G-sensor. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the
SRS-ECU sends 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
there is abnormal resistance between the input terminals of the seat
belt pre-tensioner (RH) (squib).
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Improper engaged connector or defective short
spring*
- Short circuit between the seat belt pre-tensioner (RH) (squib)
circuit terminals
- Damaged connector(s)
- Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
note |
*: The squib circuit connectors
integrate a "short" spring (which prevents the seat belt
pre-tensioner from deploying unintentionally due to static
electricity by shorting the positive wire to the earth wire
in the squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected)
(Refer to ).
Therefore, if connector C-118 or D-32 is damaged or
improperly engaged, the short spring may not be released
when the connector is connected.

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. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
|
|
caution |
To prevent damage to scan tool
MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or
disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
|
|
|
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.
|
|
(2)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOOK (OFF)"
position.
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1519 set?

4.
|
|
|
|
Go to Step
5.
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Connector lock check: SRS-ECU connector C-118
(M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.
|
![](../../../img/52/AC311438AC00ENG.png)
|
(2)Disconnect the connectors C-118
and then reconnect them. (3)Connector the negative
battery terminal. (4)Erase the diagnosis code memory, and
check the diagnosis code.
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1460 set?
Go to Step
5.
The
procedure is complete. It is assumed that diagnosis code
B1460 set as connector C-118 was engaged
improperly.
|
|
STEP 5. Connector lock check: SRS-ECU connector C-118
and seat belt pre-tensioner (RH) connector D-32
(M.U.T.-III diagnosis code)
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.
|

![](../../../img/52/AC302394AC00ENG.png)
![](../../../img/52/AC103556AX00ENG.png)
|
(2)Disconnect connectors C-118 and
D-32, and then reconnect them. For connector D-32, use a
flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the
harness side connector by withdrawing it toward you in two
stages, and then disconnect the connector. (3)Connector
the negative battery terminal. (4)Erase the diagnosis
code memory, and check the diagnosis code.
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1460 set?
Go to Step
6.
The
procedure is complete. It is assumed that diagnosis code
B1460 set as connector C-118 or D-32 was engaged
improperly.
|
|
STEP 6. Check the seat belt pre-tensioner (RH)
(M.U.T.-III diagnosis code).
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.
|
![](../../../img/52/AC302394AC00ENG.png)
![](../../../img/52/AC103556AX00ENG.png)
|
(2)Disconnect seat belt
pre-tensioner (RH) connector D-32. Use a flat-tipped
screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the harness side
connector by withdrawing it toward you in two stages, and
then disconnect the connector.
|
![](../../../img/52/AC103283AU00ENG.png)
|
(3)Connect special tool dummy
resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness
(MB991884). (4)Connect special tool MB991884 to the D-32
harness side connector. (5)Connect the negative battery
terminal. (6)Erase diagnosis code memory, and then check
the diagnosis code.
Q.
