- Analog G-sensor output is abnormal.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of side impact sensor (LH) (for DTC B1B72) and side impact sensor (RH) (for DTC B1B75)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.




1. Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the scan tool". Scan Tool Connecting
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.

NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to Controller area network Diagnosis).

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

Check again if the DTC is set.

1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Go to Step 3.

NO : There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to general (body and chassis), How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).

STEP 3. Check the side impact sensor.

Replace the side impact sensor (RH) or side impact sensor (LH) with a new one. Check the diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is either DTC B1B72 or B1B75 set?

YES : Replace the SRS-ECU.

NO : The procedure is complete.
