B1838





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1835/58-B1838/58: Short in Front Passenger Side Curtain Shield Squib Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The curtain shield squib RH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor and the curtain shield airbag RH.

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

These DTCs are recorded when a malfunction is detected in the curtain shield squib RH circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- Perform the simulation method by selecting "check mode" (signal check) with 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 various types of roads Diagnosis System.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG RH (CURTAIN SHIELD SQUIB RH)





(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

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

(c) Disconnect the connector from the curtain shield airbag RH.

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

CAUTION:
Never connect the tester to the curtain shield airbag RH (curtain shield squib RH) 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 negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

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

(j) Check for DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

OK:

DTC B1835, B1836, B1837 or B1838 is not output.

HINT
Codes other than DTC B1835, B1836, B1837, B1838 maybe output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

Result





C -- REPLACE CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH Removal

B -- REPLACE CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH Removal
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

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

(c) Disconnect SST from connector C.

(d) Check that the No. 2 floor wire connector (on the curtain shield airbag RH side) is not damaged.

OK:

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

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

3. CHECK NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE (CURTAIN SHIELD SQUIB RH CIRCUIT)





(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor.

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

(c) Turn the ignition switch ON.

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

Standard voltage:





(e) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

(f) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, 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:





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

4. CHECK CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR





(a) Connect the connectors to the curtain shield airbag RH and the center airbag sensor.

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

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

(g) Check for DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

Result





HINT
Codes other than DTC B1835, B1836, B1837, B1838 maybe output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

B -- REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Removal

A -- REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Removal

C -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK Diagnosis System
