DTC 34-9x

DTC 34-9x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Short to Ground in Right Side Curtain Airbag Inflator

Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead L 070AZ-SNAA300

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures and General Troubleshooting Information.

1. Clear the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 34-9x indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
4. Remove the right side quarter pillar glass trim, then disconnect the side wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side curtain airbag connector (B).






5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connectors) and simulator lead L to the side wire harness.
6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
7. Clear the DTC memory.
8. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 34-9x indicated?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Short to ground in the right side curtain airbag inflator; replace the right side curtain airbag.

9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
10. Disconnect both seat belt tensioner 4P connectors and both seat belt buckle tensioner 4P connectors.
11. Disconnect SRS unit connector B (28P) from the SRS unit.
12. Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead. Do not disconnect the simulator lead from the side wire harness 2P connector.
13. Measure the resistance between each terminal of the black SRS simulator lead (A) and body ground. There should be an open circuit reads OL) or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector B (28P) and the SRS unit. Check the connection; if the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit.

NO - Go to step 14.

14. Disconnect floor wire harness 4P connector C606 (A) from side wire harness 4P connector C606 (B).






15. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 terminal of floor wire harness 4P connector C606 (A) and body ground, and between the No. 2 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Short to ground in the side wire harness; replace the side wire harness.

NO - Short to ground in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness.
