STEP 7. Check the harness for short circuit ground 
between SRS-ECU connector E-08 (terminal No.16) and 
junction block connector D-210 (terminal No.2).
Q: Are harness wires between SRS-ECU connector E-08 

(terminal No.16) and junction block connector D-210 
(terminal No.2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  Repair the harness wire between SRS-ECU 

connector E-08 and junction block connector D-210. 
Then go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC 41 set?

YES : Return to Step 1.
NO :  The procedure is complete. (If no malfunctions are not 

found in all steps, an intermittent malfunction is 
suspected. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

DTC 42: IG1 Power Circuit System (Fuse No.8 Circuit)

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The SRS-ECU is powered from the ignition 

switch (IG1).

• The SRS-ECU power is supplied from two cir-

cuits. Even if one circuit is shut off, the air bag 
can inflate.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-93

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This DTC is set if the voltage between the IG1 termi-
nals (fuse No.8 circuit) and ground is lower than a 
predetermined value for a continuous period of five 
second or more. However, if the vehicle condition 
returns to normal, DTC number 42 will be automati-
cally erased, and the SRS warning light will switch 
off.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991911: MUT-III Main Harness B (Vehicles without 

CAN communication system)

• MB991223 (MB991222): Harness set (Probe)

STEP 1. Check junction block fuse number 8.
Q: Is the fuse burned out?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness for open circuit between the 
SRS-ECU and the ignition switch (IG1).
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector E-08.
(3) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front 
side directly as the connector contact pressure may be 
weakened.
(5) Measure the voltage between E-08 harness connector 

terminal 13 and body ground.
Voltage should measure 9 volts or more.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC 42 sets, replace 
the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-215

). Then go to Step 

8.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the harness for open circuit between 
SRS-ECU connector E-08 (terminal No.13) and the ignition 
switch connector D-204 (terminal No.2).
