DTC B1422: Side-airbag module (RH) (squib) system (shorted to squib circuit ground)
 
 
cautionIf DTC B1422 is set in the SRS-ECU, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.
 
 
OPERATION
In case of side collision, when the impact exceeding the threshold is applied to the vehicle, and when the impact is simultaneously detected (turned ON) by the side impact sensor as well as by the analog G-sensor in SRS-ECU, the electric current is supplied from SRS-ECU to the side-airbag module (squib) of impacted side.
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The code is set when the input terminal of SRS-ECU side-airbag module (squib) is shorted to ground.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • side-airbag module (squib) harness shorted to ground
  • Malfunction of SRS-ECU
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), diagnose the CAN bus line.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to "How to connect the scan tool ."
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the check result satisfactory?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, 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.
Is the DTC set?
Go to Step 3.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
 
STEP 3. Check the side-airbag module (RH).
(1) Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.
(2) Disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector, unlock the connector by sliding the locking button to the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure, and then disconnect the connector.
(3) Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness (MB991866).
(4)
cautionDo not insert a probe directly into the terminal from the connector front side as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
Insert the resistor harness probe from the back of right harness side connector.
(5) Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6) Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check the diagnostic trouble code.
(7) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Is DTC B1422 set?
Go to Step 4.
Replace the front seatback pad and frame assembly (Refer to ).
 
STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the SRS-ECU connector.
(1) Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.
(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 SRS-ECU connector.
(3)
dangerTo release the connector short spring in the following operations, disconnect this side-airbag module connector, and keep the squib circuit shorted.
Disconnect the side-airbag module (RH) connector, unlock the connector by sliding the locking button to the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure, and then disconnect the connector.
(4)
cautionThe short spring may not be released due to the insufficient insertion, thus insert for 4 mm (0.16 inch) or more.
Insert the insulator [3 mm (0.12 inch) wide, 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) thick] such as cable tie between the SRS+, SRS- line and the short spring, and then release the short spring.
(5) Take the measurements below at the SRS-ECU harness side connector.
  • Continuity between SRS+, SRS- line and body ground
OK: No continuity
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Repair the wiring harness SRS+, SRS- line between the SRS-ECU connector and the right side-airboat module connector.
 
STEP 5. 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.
Is DTC B1422 set?
Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
