Code No.B1472: Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Squib (LH) (Earth Side) Short-circuited













caution If diagnosis code B1472 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 the seat belt pre-tensioner (LH) (squib) wire(s) are short-circuited to the earth.

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 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 seat belt pre-tensioner.


(1)Disconnect seat belt pre-tensioner (LH) connector E-16.

(2)Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness (MB991866).
(3)Connect special tool MB991866 to the E-16 harness side connector.
(4)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(5)Erase the diagnosis code from memory, and check the diagnosis code.

Q. Is diagnosis code B1472 set?

Go to Step 4.

Replace the seat belt with pre-tensioner (LH) (Refer to ).

STEP 4. Check the seat belt pre-tensioner (LH) circuit. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU connector D-25.


(1)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2)Disconnect SRS-ECU connector D-25.
(3)Disconnect seat belt pre-tensioner (LH) connector E-16.
(4)
caution Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front side directly, as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
Check for continuity between D-25 harness side connector terminals 7, 8 and body earth.
OK: Open circuit

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector D-25 (terminal No.7 and 8) and seat belt pre-tensioner (LH) connector E-16 (terminal No.1 and 2).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Q. Is diagnosis code B1472 set?

Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
An intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
