B1821





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1820/55-B1823/55: Short in Front Driver Side - Side Squib Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The side squib (driver seat side) circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and the front seat with adjuster frame assembly LH.

This circuit signals the SRS to deploy when airbag deployment conditions are met.

These DTCs are set when a malfunction is detected in the side squib (driver seat side) circuit.

5. CHECK NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE (TO B+)

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





(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(c) Measure the voltage.

Standard voltage:





OK -- CHECK CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE

6. CHECK NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE (SIDE SQUIB (DRIVER SEAT SIDE) CIRCUIT)

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





(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(c) Measure the voltage.

Standard voltage:





(d) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

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

(f) Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance:





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

(h) Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. REPLACE FRONT SEAT WITH ADJUSTER FRAME ASSEMBLY LH (SIDE SQUIB (DRIVER SEAT SIDE))

(a) Replace the front seat with adjuster frame assembly LH Removal.
