Toyota Corolla (E120) 2002–2008 Repair Manual / Diagnostics / Supplemental restraint system / Short in p/t squib (lh) circuit (to b+) / Inspection procedure
Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure
1 Check p/t squib(lh) circuit(airbag sensor assy center – front seat outer belt assy lh)

- Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery, and wait at least for 90 seconds.
- disconnect the connectors between the airbag sensor assy center and the seat belt pretensioner (lh).
- connect the negative (–) terminal cable to the battery, and wait at least for 2 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on.
- for the connector (on the seat belt pretensioner side) between
the airbag sensor assy center and the seat belt pretensioner
(lh), measure the voltage between pl+ and
body ground.
Ok: voltage: below 1v


2 Check air bag sensor assy center
Sst 09843–18040

- Turn the ignition switch to lock.
- disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery and wait at least for 90 seconds.
- connect the connector to the airbag sensor assy center.
- using a service wire, connect pl+ and pl– of the connector (on the seat belt pretensioner side) between the airbag sensor assy center and the seat belt pretensioner (lh).
- connect the negative (–) terminal cable to the battery, and wait at least for 2 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- clear the dtc stored in memory .
- turn the ignition switch to lock, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- turn the ignition switch to on, and wait at least for 20 seconds.
- check the dtc .
Ok: dtc b0138/72 is not output.
Hint
: codes other than code b0138/72 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.

Hint
: codes other than code b0138/72 may be output at this time, but they are not relevant to this check.


4 Use simulation method to check


Replace all srs components including the wire harness
Other materials:
Circuit description
The d squib circuit consists of the airbag sensor assy center, spiral cable
sub–assy and horn button assy.
It causes the srs to deploy when the srs deployment conditions are satisfied.
Dtc b0100/13 is recorded when a short is detected in the d squib circuit.

Precaution
1. Work precautions
(A) vehicle protection
(1) when welding, cover glass, seats, carpets, etc. With
heat resistant fireploof covers to protect them.
(B) safety
(1) never stand in the path of the chain when using a puller
on the body or frame, and be sure to attach a safety
cable.
