DESCRIPTION

The front pretensioner squib RH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly and front seat outer belt assembly RH.

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

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

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

*1	Front Seat Outer Belt 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 outer belt 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 floor wire connector (on the front seat outer belt assembly RH side) is not loose, deformed or damaged.

OK:

The airbag connector locking button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.

(g) 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 OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH

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

(to Front Seat Outer Belt Assembly RH)

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

CAUTION:

Never connect a tester to the front seat outer belt assembly RH for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to pretensioner 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 B1900, B1901, B1902 or B1903 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTCs B1900, B1901, B1902 and B1903 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.

3.	CHECK FLOOR WIRE

(a) Disconnect the floor wire from the airbag ECU assembly.

*1	Front Seat Outer Belt Assembly RH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	Floor Wire
*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Front Seat Outer Belt 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
K46-1 (R+) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	Below 1 V
K46-2 (R-) - 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
K46-1 (R+) - K46-2 (R-)	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
K46-1 (R+) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
K46-2 (R-) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

(e) Check for a short in the circuit.
