STEP 7. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code. 
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC B1B01 <1st squib> or B1B05 <2nd squib> set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC B1B02: Driver's Air Bag Module (1st squib) System (Squib Circuit Open)

 

DTC B1B06: Driver's Air Bag Module (2nd squib) System (Squib Circuit Open)

CAUTION

• If DTC B1B02 <1st squib> or B1B06 <2nd 

squib> is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

• When DTC B1B02 is set in the following diag-

nosis, check the 1st squib circuit. When DTC 
B1B06 is set, check the 2nd squib circuit.

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is 

by detecting signals from the front impact sensors 
and the front air bag analog G-sensor. If the 
impact is over a predetermined level, the 
SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal. At this time, if 
the front air bag safing G-sensor is on, the SRS 
air bag will inflate. 

• The ignition signal is input to the air bag module 

via the clock spring to inflate the air bag.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

• This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance 

between the input terminals of the driver's air bag 
module (squib). The most likely causes for this 
code to be set are the followings: 

• Open circuit in the driver's air bag module 

(squib) or harness

• Open circuit in the clock spring

• Malfunction of connector contact

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Open circuit in the clock spring

• Open circuit due to improper neutral position of 

the clock spring

• Open circuit in the driver's air bag module (squib) 

circuit

• Disengaged driver's air bag module (squib) con-

nector

• Improper connector contact

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

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)

• MB991865: Dummy resistor

• MB991866: Resister harness

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-62

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 con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the 

scan tool 

P.52B-28

."

(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 GROUP 54C, 

Diagnosis 

P.54C-17

).

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "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 
GROUP 00, How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction 

P.00-15

).
