AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B19A5/A6, B19A6/A6, B19A7/A6, B19A8/A6

DTC Code DTC Name
B19A5/A6 Short in Front Active Headrest Squib LH Circuit
B19A6/A6 Open in Front Active Headrest Squib LH Circuit
B19A7/A6 Short to GND in Front Active Headrest Squib LH Circuit
B19A8/A6 Short to B+ in Front Active Headrest Squib LH Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The front active headrest squib LH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and the active headrest inflator LH.

The circuit instructs the SRS to deploy when deployment conditions are met.

These DTCs are recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front active headrest squib LH circuit.

Tech Tips

For vehicles not equipped with active headrest inflators:

Vehicles that are not equipped with active headrest inflators still contain active headrest inflator circuits and use substitution parts in replace of the active headrest inflators. If a malfunction occurs in this active headrest inflator circuit, DTC B19A5, B19A6, B19A7 or B19A8 is stored.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

Tech Tips


  • Change the intelligent tester to the "check mode" (signal check) with the intelligent tester Click here.

  • After selecting the "check mode" (signal check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on various types of roads Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ACTIVE HEADREST INFLATOR LH (FRONT ACTIVE HEADREST SQUIB LH)

    A01GKK5E08

    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

    3. Disconnect the connector from the active headrest inflator LH.

    4. Connect the red wire side of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ω) to connector E.

      CAUTION:

      Never connect a tester to the active headrest inflator LH (front active headrest squib LH) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.

      Note


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

      • Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

    5. Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

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

    7. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    8. Turn the engine switch off.

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

    10. Check for DTCs Click here.

      OK
