DTC B0022 (Flash Code 22) Driver Airbag Squib Circuit Low Resistance
RTW49JLF000101
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the SRS
control unit will perform tests to diagnose critical
malfunctions within itself. Upon passing these tests
“Ignition 1”, and deployment loop voltages are
measured to ensure they are within their respective
normal voltage ranges.
The SRS control unit then proceeds with the
“Resistance Measurement Test” “Driver Bag Low”
terminal “46” is grounded through a current sink and
the driver current source connected to “Driver Bag
High” terminal “45” allows a known amount of current to
flow. By monitoring the voltage difference between
“Driver Bag High” and “Driver Bag Low” the SRS control
unit calculates the combined resistance of the driver ai
r
bag assembly, SRS coil assembly, harness wiring
circuits “Driver Bag High” and “Driver Bag Low” and
connector terminal contact.

DTC B0024 (Flash Code 24) Driver Airbag Squib Circuit Voltage
Range/Performance
RTW49JLF000101
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the SRS
control unit will perform tests to diagnose critical
malfunctions within itself. Upon passing these tests,
“Ignition 1”, and deployment loop voltages are
measured to ensure they are within their respective
normal voltage ranges.
The SRS control unit monitors the voltage at “Drive
r
Bag Low” terminal “46” and “Passenger Bag Low”
terminal “47” to detect shorts to ground/+B in the air bag
assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When
Neither of the two air bag assemblies is open.
“Ignition 1” is within the normal operating voltage range.
This test is run once each ignition cycle and
“Continuous Monitoring”. Once these conditions are
met and the voltage at “Driver Bag Low” is out of a
specified value, DTC B0024 will set.
Action Taken
SRS control unit turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning
lamp and sets a diagnostic trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When
The malfunction is no longer occurring and the ignition
is turned “OFF”.

DTC B0053 (Flash Code 53) Deployment Command Despite Present Trouble
Code
RTW49JLF000101
Circuit Description
The SRS control unit contains a sensor which converts
vehicle velocity changes to an electrical signal. The
electrical signal generated is processed by the SRS
control unit and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the
stored value, the SRS control unit will cause current to
flow through the air bag assembly deploying the ai
r
bags. DTC B0053 is set accompanying with DTC
B0051 when a deployment occurs while an air bag
assembly circuit fault is present that could possible
result in a no deployment situation in one or both air bag
assemblies.
DTC Will Set When
The SRS control unit detects a frontal crash, up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle, of sufficient
force to warrant deployment of the air bags and an
inflator circuit fault is present.
Action Taken
SRS control unit turns “ON” the “AIR BAG” warning
lamp records “Crash Data”, and sets a diagnostic
trouble code.
DTC Will Clear When
The SRS control unit is replaced.

Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2.
If air bag assembly have not deployed, DTC B0053
may have falsely set.
3.
If DTC B0053 has set with no signs of frontal impact,
the diagnostic trouble code has falsely set.

WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING A SRS CONTROL
UNIT. NEVER STRIKE OR JAR THE SRS CONTROL UNIT. NEVER POWER UP THE SRS WHEN THE SRS
CONTROL UNIT IS NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. ALL SRS CONTROL UNIT AND MOUNTING
BRACKET FASTENERS MUST BE CAREFULLY TORQUED AND THE ARROW MUST BE POINTING TOWARD
THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE SRS. THE SRS CONTROL UNIT
COULD BE ACTIVATED WHEN POWERED WHILE NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE WHICH
COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
