Short in Front Passenger Side Squib Circuit - Airbag System





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1805/52-B1808/52: Short in Front Passenger Side Squib Circuit
B1808/52 - Short to B+ in Front Passenger Side Squib Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The front passenger side squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and front passenger airbag assembly.

The circuit instructs SRS to deploy when deployment conditions are met.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the front passenger side squib circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* Perform the simulation method by selecting check mode (Signal Check) using the Techstream Check Mode Procedure.
* After selecting check mode (Signal Check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road How To Proceed With Troubleshooting.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the power switch off.





(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the front passenger airbag assembly and center airbag sensor assembly. Also check that the connectors that link the instrument panel wire and No. 3 instrument panel wire are properly connected.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT
If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the front passenger airbag assembly and center airbag sensor assembly. Also disconnect the instrument panel wire from the No. 3 instrument panel wire.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

(f) Check that the No. 3 instrument panel wire connector (on the front passenger airbag assembly side) is not damaged.

OK:

The lock button is not disengaged, or the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.

(g) Check that the short springs for the instrument panel wire and No. 3 instrument panel wire with the activation prevention mechanism are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

2. CHECK FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SQUIB)

(a) Connect the instrument panel wire to the No. 3 instrument panel wire and center airbag sensor assembly.





(b) Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ohms) to connector E (orange connector).

CAUTION:
Never connect the tester to the front passenger airbag assembly (front passenger side squib) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

NOTICE:
* Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
* Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST : 09843-18061

(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(d) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(f) Turn the power switch off.

(g) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

OK:

DTC B1805, B1806, B1807, B1808 or 52 is not output.
