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

).

STEP 3. Check the lap pre-tensioner. (Using scan tool 
MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Disconnect lap pre-tensioner connector D-24. Use a 

flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the 
harness side connector by withdrawing it toward you in two 
stages, and then disconnect the connector.

(3) Connect special tool MB991865 to special tool MB991884.
(4) Connect special tool MB991884 to the D-24 harness side 

connector.

(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Erase diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the 

diagnostic trouble code.

Q: Is DTC B1C33 set?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the driver’s seat belt with pre-tensioner. 

Refer to 

P.52B-457

. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the lap pre-tensioner circuit. Measure the 
resistance at the SRS-ECU connector C-27.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) While pushing the part "A" indicated in the figure of the 

harness side connector, turn the lock lever to the direction 
of the arrow to release the lock lever, and disconnect the 
C-27 SRS-ECU connector.

DANGER

To prevent the lap pre-tensioner from deploying unin-
tentionally, disconnect the lap pre-tensioner connec-
tor D-24 to short the squib circuit.

(3) Disconnect lap pre-tensioner connector D-24. Use a 

flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking button at the 
harness side connector by withdrawing it toward you in two 
stages, and then disconnect the connector.

CAUTION

Insert an insulator such as a cable tie to a depth of 4mm 
(0.16 inch) or more, otherwise the short spring will not be 
released.
(4) Insert a cable tie [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) 

thick] between terminals 35, 36 and the short spring to 
release the short spring.

(5) Check for continuity between C-27 harness side connector 

terminals 35, 36 and body ground.
It should be an open circuit.

Q: Is it open circuit?

YES : Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check 

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC B1C33 sets, 
replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to 

P.52B-436

). Then go 

to Step 6.

NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness wires for short circuit to ground 
between SRS-ECU connector C-27 (terminal No.35 and 36) 
and lap pre-tensioner connector D-24 (terminal No.2 and 
1).
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair the harness wires between SRS-ECU 

connector C-27 and lap pre-tensioner connector 
D-24. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. 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 B1C33 set?

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

DTC B1C34: Driver’s Lap Pre-tensioner (Squib) System (Shorted to Squib Circuit Power Supply)

CAUTION

If DTC B1C34 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diag-
nose the CAN main bus line.

.

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 lap pre-tensioner will deploy. 

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set if there is abnormal resistance 
between the input terminals of the lap pre-tensioner 
(squib).

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HITS

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Short to power supply in the lap pre-tensioner 

(squib) harness

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
