DTC 54





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1815/54-B1818/54: Short in Front Passenger Side Squib 2nd Step Circuit
B1818/54 - Short to B+ in Front Passenger Side Squib 2nd Step Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The front passenger side squib 2nd step circuit consists of the center airbag sensor and instrument panel passenger airbag.

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

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the front passenger side squib 2nd step circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Repair Instruction - Initialization.

HINT
To perform the simulation method, enter check mode (signal check) with the Techstream Check Mode Procedure, and then wiggle each connector of the airbag system or drive the vehicle on various types of road Diagnosis System.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL PASSENGER AIRBAG (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SQUIB 2ND STEP)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.





(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Disconnect the connectors from the instrument panel passenger airbag.

(d) Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ohms) to connector E (black connector).

CAUTION:
Never connect the tester to the instrument panel passenger airbag (front passenger side squib 2nd step) 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 SST.
* Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST : 09843-18061

(e) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(g) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

(h) Turn the ignition switch off.

(i) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(j) Check for DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

OK:

DTC B1815, B1816, B1817 or B1818 is not output.

HINT
Codes other than DTC B1815, B1816, B1817 and B1818 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

2. CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Disconnect SST from connector E.

(d) Check that the instrument panel wire connectors (on the instrument panel passenger airbag side) are not damaged.

OK:

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

4. CHECK CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR

(a) Connect the connectors to the instrument panel passenger airbag and center airbag sensor.





(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(g) Check for DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

OK:

DTC B1815, B1816, B1817 or B1818 is not output.

HINT
Codes other than DTC B1815, B1816, B1817 and B1818 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

5. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR - NO. 2 INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE)

(a) Restore the released activation prevention mechanism of connector B to its original condition.





(b) Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the No. 2 instrument panel wire.

(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(g) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





(h) Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B Diagnosis System.

(i) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
