Code No.B1408: Front impact sensor (RH) communication error
Code
No.B1409: Front impact sensor (RH) communication impossible
| caution |
If diagnosis code B1408 or B1409 is set in the
SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus line.
|
OPERATION
The front impact sensor transmits acceleration data to
the SRS-ECU. The SRS-ECU then determines whether to operate the front air
bags, and then outputs an ignition signal when necessary. The front impact
sensor also diagnoses itself, and sends a diagnosis code to the SRS-ECU if a
malfunction occurs
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
These diagnosis codes are set if
communication between the front impact sensor (RH) and the SRS-ECU is not
possible or faulty.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
- Malfunction of the front impact sensor (RH)
- 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 54D, 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 front impact sensor (RH).
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
|
|
|
(2)Replace the front impact sensor (RH) with the front impact
sensor (LH).
|
|
|
(3)Connect the negative battery terminal.
|
|
|
(4)Erase the diagnosis code from memory, and check the
diagnosis code.
|
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1418 or B1419 set?
|
|
|
Replace the front impact sensor
(RH) with a new one (Refer to ). Than go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the harness wires between
SRS-ECU connector D-24 (terminal No.47 and 48) and front impact sensor (RH)
connector A-37 (terminal No.2 and 1).Than go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code B1408 or B1409 set?
|
|
|
Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
An
intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction ).
