DTC B1800 SHORT IN DRIVER’S AIRBAG
Diagnosis start condition:
Ignition voltage is 10 V to 16 V.
DTC detecting condition:
• Airbag main harness circuit is shorted.
• Airbag module harness (driver’s side) circuit is shorted.
• Roll connector circuit is shorted.
• Driver’s airbag module is faulty.
• Airbag control module is faulty.
CAUTION:
Before performing diagnosis, refer to “CAUTION” in “General Description”. General Description > CAUTION">
NOTE:
Prior to starting work, prepare two AIRBAG RESISTORs (98299PA040).

1.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS.
Check for poor contact of the connectors between the airbag control module and the driver’s airbag module.
Is there poor contact?
Replace the airbag harness.

2.CHECK DRIVER’S AIRBAG MODULE.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
2) Remove the driver’s airbag module.
3) Connect the connector (1N) in the test harness N to the connector (AB38).
4) Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2N) of test harness N.
5) Connect the connector (1Q) in the test harness Q to connector (AB37).
6) Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2Q) in the test harness Q.
7) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.
Does the airbag warning light illuminate for six seconds and go off?
Replace the driver’s airbag module. Driver’s Airbag Module">

3.CHECK ROLL CONNECTOR AND AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS (DRIVER’S AIRBAG HARNESS).
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
2) Remove the console front panel and disconnect the connector (AB9).
3) Disconnect the driver’s knee airbag module connector (AB66).
4) Disconnect the airbag resistor from the connector (2N) in test harness N and from the connector (2Q) in test harness Q.
5) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from the airbag control module, and connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG.
6) Measure the resistance between connector (2Q) terminals in test harness Q.
Connector & terminal
(2Q) No. 1 — (2Q) No. 2:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?

4.CHECK AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS (DRIVER’S AIRBAG HARNESS).
1) Remove the instrument panel lower cover and column cover, and disconnect the connector (AB7) from (AB2).
2) Measure the resistance between connector (3AG) terminals in test harness AG.
Connector & terminal
(3AG) No. 1 — (3AG) No. 3:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
Replace the roll connector. Roll Connector">
Replace the airbag main harness along with body harness.
5.CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Clear the memory. Clear Memory Mode">
3) Perform the Inspection Mode. Inspection Mode">
4) Read the DTC. (Current malfunction) Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">
Is DTC B1800 displayed?
Replace the airbag control module. Airbag Control Module">
