Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Short in Curtain Shield Airbag (LH) Squib Circuit (B1835-B1838)

DESCRIPTION

The curtain shield squib LH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly and curtain shield airbag assembly LH.

The airbag ECU assembly uses this circuit to deploy the airbag when deployment conditions are met.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the curtain shield squib LH circuit.

PROCEDURE

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

*1 Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly LH *2 Airbag ECU Assembly *3 Floor Wire

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH and airbag ECU assembly.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not properly connected, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the curtain shield airbag assembly LH and airbag ECU assembly.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

(f) Check that the floor wire connector (on the curtain shield airbag assembly LH side) is not loose, deformed or damaged.

OK:

The airbag connector locking button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.

(g) Check that the short springs of the activation prevention mechanism of the floor wire connector are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

(b) Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector C.

CAUTION:

Never connect a tester to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

NOTICE:

• Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting it.
• Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

SST: 09843-18061

(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

(f) Turn the engine switch off.

(g) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs.

OK:

DTC B1835, B1836, B1837 or B1838 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTCs B1835, B1836, B1837 and B1838 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the engine switch off.

(j) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(k) Disconnect SST from connector C.
