DTC B0016 (Flash Code 16) Passenger Air Bag Squib Circuit Low Resistance




RTW 79ALF000301
Circuit Description
W hen the ignition switch is turned to “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”. The
“Passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” is grounded through
a resistor and the passenger current source connected
to the “Passenger Bag High” terminal “17” and allows a
known amount of current to flow. By monitoring the
voltage difference between the “Passenger Bag High”
and “Passenger Bag Low”, the SRS control unit
calculates the combined resistance of the passenger ai
r
bag assembly, harness wiring circuits “Passenger Bag
High” and “Passenger Bag Low” connector terminal
contact.
DTC Will Set When
The combined resistance of the passenger air bag
assembly, harness wiring circuits “Passenger Bag High”
and “Passenger Bag Low”, and connector terminal
contact is above a specified value. This test is run once
for each ignition cycle during the “Resistance
Measurement Test” when:
1. No “higher priority faults” are detected during “Turn– ON”,
2. “Ignition 1” voltage is in the specified value.

Action Taken
The SRS control unit turns “ON” the “SRS” warning
lamp and sets a diagnostic trouble code.

DTC Chart Test Description
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS control unit.
3. This test verifies connection of the yellow connector.
4. This test checks for proper operation of the shorting
clip on the yellow connector.
5. This test checks for a malfunctioning passenger ai
r
bag assembly.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is due
to shortening in the wiring.
Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
between circuits “Passenger Bag High” and “Passenge
r
Bag Low” or a malfunctioning shorting clip on the
passenger air bag assembly which would require
replacement of the air bag assembly. The test for this
diagnostic trouble code is only run while the “SRS”
warning lamp is performing the bulb check. W hen the
scan tool “Clear Codes” command is issued and the
malfunction is still present, the DTC will not reappea
r
until the next ignition cycle.

DTC B0021 (Flash Code 21) Driver Air Bag Squib Circuit High Resistance




RTW 79ALF000301

Circuit Description
W hen 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 “13” is grounded through a current sink and the
driver current source connected to “Driver Bag High”
terminal “14” allows a known amount of current to flow.
By monitoring the voltage difference between “Drive
r
Bag High” and “Driver Bag Low”, the SRS control unit
calculates the combined resistance of the driver air bag
assembly, SRS coil assembly, harness wiring circuits
“Driver Bag High” and “Driver Bag Low” and connecto
r
terminal contact.

DTC Will Set When
The combined resistance of the driver air bag
assembly, the SRS Coil assembly, the harness wiring
circuits “Driver Bag High” and “Driver Bag Low”, and
connector terminal contact is above a specified value.
This test runs once for each ignition cycle during the
“Resistance Measurement Test” when:
1. No “higher priority faults” are detected during “Turn–
ON”.
2. “Ignition 1” voltage is in the specified value.

Action Taken
The SRS control unit turns “ON” the “SRS” warning
lamp and sets DTC B0021.

DTC Will Clear When
Resistance value returns to specified resistance value.

DTC Chart Test Description
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS control unit.
3. This test verifies proper connection of the yello
w
connector at the base of the steering column.
4. This test checks for proper contact and/or corrosion
of the connector terminals at the base of the steering
column.
5. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the
SRS coil assembly yellow connector located at the
base of the steering column.
6. This test determines whether the malfunction is due
to high resistance in the wiring.
7. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the SRS coil assembly or the driver air bag
assembly.

Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a poor
connection at terminals “1” and “2” of the SRS coil
connector at the base of the steering column, terminal
“1” and “2” of the driver air bag assembly connector at
the top of the steering column, the SRS control unit
terminals “14” and “13” or a poor wire to terminal
connection in circuit “Driver Bag High” or “Driver Bag
Low” The test for this diagnostic trouble code is only run
while the “SRS” warning lamp is performing the bulb
check. W hen a scan tool “Clear Codes” command is
issued and the malfunction is still present, the DTC will
not reappear until the next ignition cycle.
