DTC B1C27: Side-air bag Module (LH) (Squib) System (Shorted to Squib Circuit Ground)

Side-Airbag Module (Squib) (LH) Circuit

CAUTION If DTC B1C27 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by detecting signals from the side impact sensor installed on the lower side of the center pillar. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if the side collision safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air bag will inflate.
• The ignition signal is input to the side-air bag module to inflate the side-air bag.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance between the input terminals of the side-air bag module (LH) (squib).

DTC B1C2C: Side-air bag Module (RH) (Squib) System (Shorted to Squib Circuit Power Supply)

Side-Airbag Module (Squib) (RH) Circuit

CAUTION If DTC B1C2C is set in the SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by detecting signals from the side impact sensor installed on the lower side of the center pillar. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if the side collision safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air bag will inflate.
• The ignition signal is input to the side-air bag module to inflate the side-air bag.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance between the input terminals of the side-air bag module (RH) (squib).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
• Short to the power supply in the side-air bag module (RH) (squib) harness
• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DTC B1C2E: Side-air bag Module (RH) (Squib) System (Short Circuit between Squib Circuit Terminals)

Side-Airbag Module (Squib) (RH) Circuit

CAUTION If DTC B1C2E is set in the SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN bus lines.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by detecting signals from the side impact sensor installed on the lower side of the center pillar. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if the side collision safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air bag will inflate.
• The ignition signal is input to the side-air bag module to inflate the side-air bag.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance between the input terminals of the side-air bag module (RH) (squib).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Improper engaged connector or defective short spring*
• Short between the side-air bag module (RH) (squib) circuit terminals
• Damaged connector(s)
• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

NOTE: *: The squib circuit connectors integrate a "short" spring (which prevents the air bag from deploying unintentionally due to static electricity by shorting the positive wire to the ground wire in the squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected). Therefore, if connector C-27 or D-31 is damaged or improperly engaged, the short spring may not be released when the connector is connected.
