DESCRIPTION
The driver side front pretensioner squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor and the front seat
outer belt LH.
This circuit instructs the SRS to deploy when the deployment conditions are met.
These DTCs are recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front pretensioner squib circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
• Perform the simulation method by selecting the "CHECK MODE" (signal check) with the intelligent
tester (see page RS-52).
• After selecting the "CHECK MODE" (signal check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each
connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road (see page RS-52).

1 CHECK FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY LH (DRIVER SIDE FRONT

PRETENSIONER SQUIB)

(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

w/ Curtain Shield Airbag (b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery
D C terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
(c) Disconnect the connectors from the front seat outer belt
LH.
Driver Side Front (d) Connect the white wire side of SST to connector C.
Pretensioner Squib CAUTION:
Center Airbag Sensor Never connect a tester to the front seat outer belt LH
(driver side front pretensioner squib) for
measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury
due to airbag deployment.
w/o Curtain Shield Airbag NOTICE:
• Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the
D C connector when connecting.
• Insert SST straight into the terminals of the
connector.
Driver Side Front SST 09843-18060
Pretensioner Squib Center Airbag Sensor (e) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal,
and wait for at least 2 seconds.
(f) Turn the ignition switch ON, and wait for at least 60
seconds.
Connector C
(g) Clear the DTCs (see page RS-49).
K8 (h) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(i) Turn the ignition switch ON, and wait for at least 60
L- L+ seconds.
(j) Check the DTCs (see page RS-49).
OK:
SST DTC B1900, B1901, B1902, B1903 or 73 is not
RS output.
HINT:
DTCs other than DTC B1900, B1901, B1902, B1903 or
DLC3 DTC 73 73 may be output at this time, but they are not related to
this check.

2 CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
(c) Disconnect SST from connector C.
(d) Check that the floor wire connector (on the driver side
front seat outer belt) is not damaged.
