Code No.B1453: Curtain air bag module (squib) (LH) system
(short-circuited to the power supply)
![](../../../img/52/W4X52E011A00ENG.png)
caution |
If diagnosis code B1453 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 side impact sensors and the side-airbag
safing G-sensor. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the
SRS-ECU outputs an ignition signal. At this time, if the side-airbag
safing G-sensor is on, the curtain air bag module will deploy.
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code is set if
the curtain air bag module squib (LH) wire(s) are short-circuited to the
power supply.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
- Short to the power supply in the curtain air bag module (squib)
(LH) harness
- Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
|
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 curtain air bag module (RH)
(M.U.T.-III diagnosis code).
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.
|

|
(2)Disconnect the intermediate
connector G-22 (connection between rear floor harness and
floor harness).
|
![](../../../img/52/AC006042CA00ENG.png)
|
(3)Connect special tool dummy
resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness
(MB991866). (4)
caution |
Do not insert a test probe
into the terminal from its front side directly
as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
|
Insert special tool resistor harness probe into
floor harness side connector G-22 by
backprobing. (5)Connect the negative battery
terminal. (6)Erase diagnosis code memory, and check the
diagnosis code.
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1453 set?
Go to Step
4.
Go to Step
5.
|
|
STEP 4. Check the curtain air bag module circuit.
Voltage measurement at the SRS-ECU connector
C-120.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.
|
![](../../../img/52/AC311438AE00ENG.png)
|
(2)Disconnect SRS-ECU connector
C-120. (3)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.
|
![](../../../img/52/AC301564AC00ENG.png)
|
(4)
caution |
Do not insert a test probe
into the terminal from its front side directly
as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
|
Voltage measurement between C-120 harness side
connector terminals 5, 6 and body earth. OK: 0
V
Q.
Is the measured voltage within the specified
range?
Go to Step
6.
Repair
the harness wire between SRS-ECU connector C-120 (terminal
No.5 and 6) and intermediate connector G-22 (floor harness
side, terminal No.1 and 2).
|
|
STEP 5. Check the curtain air bag module circuit.
Voltage measurement at the intermediate connector
G-22.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery
terminal.
|
![](../../../img/52/AC302576AE00ENG.png)
|
(2)Disconnect the intermediate
connector G-22 (connection between rear floor harness and
floor harness). (3)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position.

|
(4)
caution |
Do not insert a test probe
into the terminal from its front side directly
as the connector contact pressure may be
weakened.
|
Voltage measurement between G-22 harness side
connector terminals 1, 2 and body earth. OK: 0
V
Q.
Is the measured voltage within the specified
range?
Replace the curtain
air bag module (LH) (Refer to ).
Repair the harness
wire between intermediate connector G-22 (terminal No.1 and
2) and curtain air bag module (LH) connector G-01 (terminal
No.1 and 2).
|
|
STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1453 set?
|
|
Replace the SRS-ECU
(Refer to ).
|
|
|
|
An intermittent
malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
