Code No. B1502 Right rear curtain air bag module (squib) system (shorted to squib circuit earth) <Vehicles with rear curtain air bag>



caution If diagnosis code No. B1502 is set in the SRS-ECU, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.

OPERATION


In case of side collision, when the impact exceeding the threshold is applied to the vehicle, and when the impact is simultaneously detected (turned ON) by the side impact sensor as well as by the analogue G-sensor in SRS-ECU, the electric current is supplied from SRS-ECU to the rear curtain air bag module (squib) of impacted side.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT


The code is set when the SRS-ECU rear curtain air bag module (squib) circuit is shorted to earth.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


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


Use 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 54C - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(2)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(3)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. B1502 set?

Go to Step 3.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

STEP 3. Diagnosis check by dummy resistor connection


(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If connected, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2)Disconnect the right rear curtain airbag module connector.

(3)Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness (MB991866).
(4)
caution Do not insert a probe directly into the terminal from the connector front side as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
Insert the resistor harness probe from the back of right rear curtain airbag module harness side connector.
(5)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(7)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. B1502 set?

Go to Step 4.

Replace the right rear curtain air bag module.

STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU connector.


(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.

(2)While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction of the arrow to release the lock lever. After disconnect the SRS-ECU connector.
(3)
danger To release SRS-ECU wiring harness side connector short spring in the following operations, disconnect rear curtain air bag module connector in advance, and keep the squib circuit shorted.
Disconnect the right rear curtain airbag module connector.

(4)
caution The short spring may not be released due to the insufficient insertion. Therefore, insert the insulator for 4 mm or more.
Insert an insulator (width: 3 mm, thickness: 0.5 mm) such as cable tie between the CR2-, CR2+ line and the short spring, and release the short spring.
(5)Check the continuity between the SRS-ECU wiring harness side connector CR2-, CR2+ line.
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Q. Is diagnosis code No. B1502 set?

Replace SRS-ECU.
Intermittent Malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).
