B1379





General Description

Side Airbag (hereinafter referred to SAB) located in driver and passenger seat protects passenger's head and shoulder.
SAB is consist of air bag and inflator.
Air bag reduces impact of collision by filled up gas.
Inflator keeps gas and uses it to deploy air bag on collision.

CAUTION:
Never measure resistance of SAB directly, Current of measuring device may cause unexpected air bag deploy.

DTC Description

The SRSCM sets DTC B1379 if the measured resistance value of DSAB circuit is less than the threshold value.
*In this case, SRSCM checks if there's any fault in circuit by sending current for a while.

DTC Detecting Condition






Specification






Diagnostic Circuit Diagram






Monitor Scantool Data

1. Ignition "OFF", connect scantool.
2. Ignition "ON"& Engine "OFF", select "Current Data" mode.
3. Monitor the "Side airbag front-Driver resistance" parameter on the Scantool.

Specification :
0.9Ohms< Resistance of Side airbag front-Driver < 6.6Ohms


Reference :
In a case of an open in the Side airbag front-Driver circuit : FAIL
In a case of a short to battery in the Side airbag front-Driver circuit: FAIL
In a case of a short to ground in the Side airbag front-Driver circuit : FAIL

4. Is parameter displayed within specifications?






Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check shorting bar/shorting bar release pin and connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?






Squib Circuit Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Disconnect (-) terminal cable from battery and wait for 1 minutes or more.
3. Disconnect DSAB module and connect the dummy (0957A-38200) and dummy adapter (0957A-3F000) to main harness connector.

NOTE:
If dummy and dummy adaptor are not able to be prepared, use a known-good DSAB or 2Ohms resistor.

4. Connect (-) terminal cable to battery and Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF" and wait for 30 seconds or more.
5. Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC) and clear DTC with scantool and diagnose again.
6. Is DTC present problem ?






Main harness Circuit Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Disconnect the battery (-) terminal cable from the battery and wait at least one minutes.
3. Disconnect DSAB connector and SRSCM main harness connector.
4. Measure resistance between terminal "Low" and "High" of the DSAB harness connector.

Specification :approx. 1 Ohms below

5. Is the measured resistance within specifications?






Verification of Vehicle Repair

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTC)" mode.
2. Using a scan tool, clear the DTC.
3. Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information.
4. Are any DTC present ?
