Checking the component








- Ignition off
- Disconnect the connector from the rear right-hand inflatable curtain
- Connect special tool951 1506 Test dummy 951 1506 Test Dummy to the connector for the inflatable curtain
Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instruments to take readings on a disconnected, non-deployed, pyrotechnical inflatable curtain. This could deploy the inflatable curtain!

Note! The special tool must be checked and fault-free. If the tool is defective, the diagnosis readings will be incorrect. This will make fault-tracing harder.

- Switch on the ignition. Wait 10 seconds.
Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Try a new inflatable curtain if the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) changes status from a permanent to an intermittent fault.

Other information:
- To access and replace the inflatable curtain, see
- To check the special tool, see Calibration Calibrating the Special Tool.





Does the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) change?

Checking components and wiring




- Ignition off
- Disconnect special tool951 1506 Test dummy 951 1506 Test Dummy from the connector for the inflatable curtain.

Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instruments to take readings on a disconnected non-deployed pyrotechnical inflatable curtain. This could deploy the inflatable curtain!

Caution! Do not touch the terminal pins in the SRS control module. There is a risk of static discharge. This could damage the SRS control module.

Check the female and male parts of the connectors for the Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS) and the inflatable curtain. The cable terminals must not be damaged or pressed back
Check the cable between the Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS) terminals #11C(7), #12C(8) and connector terminals #1, #3 on the rear right-hand inflatable curtain. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.
