DTC 54 Open in P Squib Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The P squib circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly and front passenger airbag assembly.
It causes the airbag to deploy when the airbag deployment conditions are satisfied.
For details of the function of each component, see FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS on page RS-2.
DTC 54 is recorded when an open is detected in the P squib circuit.

DTC Normal Source Voltage Drop
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assembly in
case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter)functions to increase the
voltage of the SRS to normal voltage.
The diagnosis system malfunction display for this circuit is different to other circuits-when the SRS warning
light remains lit up and the DTC is a normal code, source voltage drop is indicated.
Malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the airbag sensor assembly, and the source voltage returns to
normal, the SRS warning light automatically goes off.

INSPECTION PROCEDURES
1 Preparation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect negative (-) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least 90 seconds.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See SR Section).
(c) Disconnect the connector of front passenger airbag as-
sembly (See page RS-21).
(d) DIsconnect the connector of airbag sensor assembly
(See page RS-33).
CAUTION:
Store the steering wheel pad with the front surface facing
upward.
2 Check source voltage.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage at IG2 or ACC on sensor and operate elec-
tric system. (defogger, wiper, headlight, heater blower, etc)
OK:
Voltage: 10 - 14 V
NG Check the harness between battery and airbag
sensor assembly, and check the battery and
charging system.

3 Does SRS warning light turn off ?
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Connect the steering wheel pad connector.
(c) Connect the front passenger airbag assembly connector.
(d) Connect the airbag sensor assembly connector.
(e) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Operate electric system checked in (defogger, wiper, headlight,
heater blower, etc.) and check that SRS warning light goes off.
NO Check for DTCs. If a DTC is output, trouble-
shooting for the DTC. If a normal code is output,
replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check.
