Airbag System (for Hatchback without VSC) (from 07/2011)





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM (for Hatchback without VSC): B1900/73-B1903/73: Short in Front Pretensioner Squib RH Circuit
B1903/73 - Short to B+ in Front Pretensioner Squib RH Circuit

DESCRIPTION

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

This circuit instructs SRS to deploy when deployment conditions are met.

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

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* Perform the simulation method by selecting check mode (Signal Check) using the Techstream Check Mode Procedure (from 07/2011).
* After selecting check mode (Signal Check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road How To Proceed With Troubleshooting.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.





(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.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the front seat outer belt assembly RH and airbag sensor assembly.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

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

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the front seat outer belt assembly RH and airbag sensor assembly.

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

OK:

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

(g) Check that the short spring for the floor wire with the activation prevention mechanism is not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short spring is not deformed or damaged.

OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH (FRONT PRETENSIONER SQUIB RH)

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





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

CAUTION:
Never connect the tester to the front seat outer belt assembly RH (front pretensioner squib 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.
* Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST : 09843-18061

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

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Airbag System (for Hatchback without VSC).

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

(g) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs Airbag System (for Hatchback without VSC).

OK:

DTC B1900/73, B1901/73, B1902/73 or B1903/73 is not output.

HINT
Codes other than DTCs B1900/73, B1901/73, B1902/73 and B1903/73 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the ignition 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.

NG -- CHECK FLOOR WIRE (FRONT PRETENSIONER SQUIB RH CIRCUIT)

OK -- REPLACE FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH Removal (from 07/2011)

3. CHECK FLOOR WIRE (FRONT PRETENSIONER SQUIB RH CIRCUIT)

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





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

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

(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

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

Standard Voltage:





(c) Check for an open in the circuit.

(1) Turn the ignition switch off.

(2) 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.

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

Standard Resistance:





(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:





(e) Check for a short in the circuit.

(1) Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B Diagnosis System (from 07/2011).

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

Standard Resistance:





(f) Restore the released activation prevention mechanism of connector B to the original condition.

4. CHECK DTC

(a) Connect the connectors to the front seat outer belt assembly RH and airbag sensor assembly.

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

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Airbag System (for Hatchback without VSC).

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(g) Check for DTCs Airbag System (for Hatchback without VSC).

OK:

DTC B1900/73, B1901/73, B1902/73 or B1903/73 is not output.

HINT
Codes other than DTCs B1900/73, B1901/73, B1902/73 and B1903/73 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

NG -- REPLACE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Removal (from 07/2011)

OK -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK How To Proceed With Troubleshooting
