Code No.B1418: Front impact sensor (LH) communication error
Code No.B1419: Front impact sensor (LH) communication impossible


caution If diagnosis code B1418 or B1419 is set in the SRS-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus line.

OPERATION



DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS



PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
  • Malfunction of the front impact sensor (LH)
  • Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics.
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
(1)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(2)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(3)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1418 or B1419 set?
Go to Step 3
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 3. Check the front impact sensor (LH).
(1)Check that the negative battery terminal is disconnected. If the negative battery terminal is connected, disconnect it.
(2)Alternate the front impact sensor (LH) and the front impact sensor (RH), and then install the alternated sensor.
(3)Connect the negative battery terminal.
(4)After erasing the diagnosis code memory, check the diagnosis code again.
(5)Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1418 or B1419 set?
Replace the front impact sensor (LH) (Refer to ).
Go to Step 4

STEP 4. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in FLH-, FLH+ line between SRS-ECU connector and front impact sensor (LH) connector.
note After inspecting intermediate connector inspect the wiring harness. If the intermediate connector is damaged, repair or replace it.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. B1418 or B1419 set?
Replace SRS-ECU (Refer to ).
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
