RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM 9A1-23
DTC B0018 (Flash Code 18) Passenger Air Bag Squib Circuit Short to GND
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 the deployment loop voltages are
measured to ensure they are within their respective
normal voltage ranges.
The SRS control unit monitors the voltages at the
“Driver Bag Low” terminal “13” and “Passenger Bag
Low” terminal “16” to detect short to ground/+B in the ai
r
bag assembly circuits.
DTC Will Set When
“Ignition 1" is within the normal operating voltage range.
The voltage at “Passenger Bag Low" is below a
specified value DTC B0018 will set.
Action Taken
The SRS control unit turns “ON” the “SRS” warning
lamp and sets a diagnostic trouble code.

DTC Will Clear When
The “Passenger Bag Low" voltage comes to specified
voltage.
DTC Chart Test Description
Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the
diagnostic chart.
2. This test determines whether the SRS control unit is malfunctioning.
3. This test isolates the malfunction to one side of the passenger air bag assembly yellow connecto
r
behind the glove box compartment.
4. This test determines whether the malfunction is in
the “Passenger Bag High” circuit.
5. This test determines whether the malfunction is in the “Passenger Bag Low” circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short
to ground/+B in the passenger air bag assembly circuit.
Inspect circuits “Passenger Bag High” and “Passenge
r
Bag Low” carefully for cutting or chafing. If the wiring
pigtail of the passenger air bag assembly is damaged,
the component must be replaced.

Step Action Yes No
1 W as the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” performed?
Go to Step 2 Go to the “SRS
Diagnostic System Check”
2 1. W hen measurements are requested in this chart use a 5-
8840-0366-0 DMM with a correct terminal adapter from 5-
8840-2835-0.
2. Ignition switch is at “LOCK”.
3. Ignition switch is “ON”.
4. Check the passenger air bag squib circuit for a short to ground.
W as a problem found? Go to Step 3
3 1. Ignition switch is at “LOCK”.
2. Disconnect the passenger air bag assembly yellow connector behind the glove box assembly.
3. Leave the driver air bag assembly connected.
4. Connect the SRS driver / passenger load tool 5-8840-2421-0 and appropriate adapter to the passenger air bag assembly
harness connector.
5. Ignition switch is “ON”.
Is DTC B0018 current? Go to Step 4 Ignition switch is at
“LOCK”.
Replace
passenger air bag assembly .
Go to Step 6
4 1. Ignition switch is at “LOCK”.
2. Disconnect the SRS driver /passenger load tool.
3. Measure the resistance on the SRS control unit harness connector as follow.
z From terminals "17" to "3" and "23" (ground) (without the
pretensioner)
z From terminals "17" to "3" and "15" (ground) (with the
pretensioner)
Does 5-8840-0366-0 display “OL” (Infinite)? Go to Step 5 Replace SRS
Harness.
