Code No.B1437: Side impact sensor (LH) voltage error
caution |
If diagnosis code No. B1437 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus line.
|
OPERATION
The side impact sensor transmits acceleration data to the SRS-ECU. The SRS-ECU then determines. if the side and/or curtain air bags should be inflated, and then sends an ignition signal. The side impact sensor also diagnoses itself, and sends a diagnosis code to the SRS-ECU if a problem occurs.
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code will be set when the power supply voltage to the side impact sensor (LH) remains less than a predetermined value for one second.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged wiring harness or connectors
- Malfunction of the side impact sensor (LH)
- 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 54C, Diagnosis ).
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.
|
|
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 set again.
|
|
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 of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in SSL+, SSL- line in between SRS-ECU connector and side impact sensor (LH) connector.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
Repair the connectors or harness wires.
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Check the side impact sensor (LH).
|
|
(1)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
|
|
(2)Alternate the side impact sensor (LH) and the side impact sensor (RH), and then install the alternated sensor.
|
|
(3)Connect the negative battery terminal.
|
|
(4)Erase the diagnosis code from memory, and check the diagnosis code.
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code No. B1437 set?
|
|
Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
Replace the side impact sensor (LH) (Refer to ). Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code No. B1437 set?
|
|
Replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
|
|
|
|
An intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
