DTC 12

DTC 12 Short in Squib Circuit (to B +)





CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly, spiral cable, steering wheel pad (squib), front passenger airbag assembly and the seat belt pretensioners. It causes the SRS to deploy when the SRS deployment conditions are satisfied. The front airbag sensor detects the deceleration force in a frontal collision and is located in the front fender on the left and right sides. For details of the function of each component, see FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS. Diagnostic trouble code 12 is recorded when a B + short is detected in the squib circuit or the front airbag sensor circuit.
