Code No. B1627 Front passenger’s lap pre-tensioner (squib) system (shorted to squib circuit earth)


caution If the diagnosis code B1627 is set to SRS-ECU, be sure to diagnose the CAN bus line.

OPERATION
Only when the frontal collision impact that exceeds the threshold is simultaneously detected (turned ON) by the front impact sensor as well as by the analogue G-sensor and safing G-sensor in SRS-ECU, the electric current is supplied from SRS-ECU to the lap pre-tensioner (squib).

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
The code is set when the input terminal of SRS-ECU driver’s lap pre-tensioner (squib) is shorted to earth.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Poor contact of connector
  • Passenger’s lap pre-tensioner (squib) harness shorted to earth
  • Malfunction of SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics.
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
(1)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(2)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(3)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1627 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. Diagnosis check by dummy resistor connection.
(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.

(2)Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button of harness side connector. After releasing the lock, disconnect the lap pre-tensioner harness side connector.

(3)Connect special tool dummy resistor (MB991865) to special tool resistor harness (MB991884).
(4)Connect resistor harness to the lap pre-tensioner harness side connector.
(5)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(6)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(7)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1627 set?

Go to Step 4.

Replace the seat belt with pre-tensioner (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)
danger To release the SRS-ECU connector short spring in the following operations, disconnect this lap pre-tensioner connector, and keep the squib circuit shorted.
Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button of harness side connector. After releasing the lock, disconnect the lap pre-tensioner harness side connector.

(4)
caution The short spring may not be released due to the insufficient insertion. Therefore, insert the insulator for 4 mm or more.
Insert an insulator (width: 3 mm, thickness: 0.5 mm) such as cable tie between the PA2-, PA2+, and then release the short spring.
(5)Take the measurements below at the SRS-ECU harness side connector.

  • Continuity between PA2-, PA2+ line and body earth
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the wiring harness PA2-, PA2+ line between the SRS-ECU connector and the lap pre-tensioner connector.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1627 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 ).
