AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS) > Diagnostic Chart with Trouble Code

DTC 65 BELT PRETENSIONER RH FAILURE

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

• Seat belt pretensioner (RH) circuit is shorted to power supply.

• Pretensioner is faulty.

• Pretensioner harness is faulty.

• Airbag control module is faulty.

CAUTION:

• Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable from battery, and wait 20 seconds or more before starting to work.

• When replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, lap seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module and sensor, reconnect each part and check that the warning light operates properly.

• When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the airbag module connectors of the driver’s and passenger’s seats for safety.

• When inspecting the airbag rear harness, disconnect the side airbag module connector, curtain airbag module connector, seat belt pretensioner and lap seat belt pretensioner connector for safety reasons.

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS.

Check for poor contact of the connectors between the airbag control module and the seat belt pretensioner RH.

Is there poor contact?

Replace the airbag rear harness along with body harness.

2.CHECK SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 20 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the connector (AB26) from seat belt pretensioner (RH).

3) Connect the connector (1N) in the test harness N to the connector (AB26).

4) Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2N) of test harness N.

5) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.

Does the airbag warning light illuminate for 6 seconds and go off?

Replace the seat belt pretensioner (RH).

3.CHECK AIRBAG REAR HARNESS (PRETENSIONER HARNESS RH).

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 20 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the airbag resistor from the connector (2N) of test harness N.

3) Disconnect connector (AB24) from side airbag module (RH).

4) Disconnect the connector (AB30) from lap seat belt pretensioner (RH).

5) Disconnect the connector (AB33) from curtain airbag module (RH).

6) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, and AB18) from airbag control module.

7) Connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG to the connectors (AB6, AB17, and AB18).

NOTE:

For model without side airbag, connect test harness AH between the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) and (1AG).

8) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.

9) Measure the voltage between connector (3AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(3AG) No. 20 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

(3AG) No. 18 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Replace the airbag rear harness along with body harness.

4.CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE.

1) Connect all connectors.

2) Clear the memory.

3) Perform the Inspection Mode.

4) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the airbag control module.

5.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.

Finish the diagnosis.
