DESCRIPTION

The front side squib RH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly and front seat airbag assembly RH.

The airbag ECU assembly uses this circuit to deploy the airbag when deployment conditions are met.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the front side squib RH circuit.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

*1	Front Seat Airbag Assembly RH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	Floor Wire

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not properly connected, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the front seat airbag assembly RH and airbag ECU assembly.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

(f) Check that the short springs of the activation prevention mechanism of the floor wire connector are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

2.	CHECK FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH

(a) Connect the connector to the airbag ECU assembly.

(to Front Seat Airbag Assembly RH)

(b) Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector C.

CAUTION:

Never connect a tester to the front seat airbag assembly 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 it.
Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST: 09843-18061

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs

(f) Turn the engine switch off.

(g) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes

OK:

DTC B1820, B1821, B1822 or B1823 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTCs B1820, B1821, B1822 and B1823 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the engine switch off.

(j) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(k) Disconnect SST from connector C.

*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	Floor Wire
*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Front Seat Airbag Assembly RH)

(b) Check for a short to B+ in the circuit.

(1) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(2) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K42-1 (SFR+) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	Below 1 V
K42-2 (SFR-) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	Below 1 V

(4) Turn the engine switch off.

(5) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K42-1 (SFR+) - K42-2 (SFR-)	Always	Below 1 Ω

(d) Check for a short to ground in the circuit.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K42-1 (SFR+) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
K42-2 (SFR-) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

(e) Check for a short in the circuit.

(1) Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B.
