Component Details:-
Airbag ECU: - It is fitted in the floor of central console in the car. The Airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controls the
deployment system to allow an appropriate igniting of the Airbags and belt pre-tensioners to restrain the driver and
passengers.
Preliminary Checks:-
1. Ensure the proper locking of Airbag ECU wiring harness connectors in the vehicle by the locking sound.
2. Check resistance between diagnostic CAN pin number 6 and 14 in OBD connector. It should be 120 ohm.
3. Check for short conditions between CAN_H-CAN_L, CAN_H-GND, CAN_L-GND, CAN_H-Vbat and
CAN_LVbat. There should not be any short circuit conditions.
4. Check continuity between ECM CAN_H (pin no. 19) vehicle side connector to OBD connector CAN_H (pin no.
6) and CAN_L (pin no. 18) vehicle side connector to OBD connector CAN_L (pin no.14).
5. Read IVN DTCs in IPC in Ignition ON condition.
