CHECK STEERING PAD (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB)
CHECK DRIVER SIDE SQUIB CIRCUIT
DTC B1800/51 Short in Driver Side Squib Circuit |
DTC B1801/51 Open in Driver Side Squib Circuit |
DTC B1802/51 Short to GND in Driver Side Squib Circuit |
DTC B1803/51 Short to B+ in Driver Side Squib Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
- The driver side squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor, the spiral cable and the steering pad.
- The circuit instructs the SRS to deploy when the deployment conditions are met.
- These DTCs are recorded when a malfunction is detected in the driver side squib circuit.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
B1800/51 | Center airbag sensor receives a line short signal 5 times in the driver side squib circuit during primary check. |
|
B1801/51 | Center airbag sensor receives an open signal in the driver side squib circuit for 2 seconds. |
|
B1802/51 | Center airbag sensor receives a short to ground signal in the driver side squib circuit for 0.5 seconds. |
|
B1803/51 | Center airbag sensor receives a short to B+ signal in the driver side squib circuit for 0.5 seconds. |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Perform the simulation method by selecting the "Check Mode" (signal check) with the intelligent tester (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XFF05JX.html).
- After selecting the "Check Mode" (signal check), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XFF05JX.html).
1.CHECK STEERING PAD (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB) |
![]() |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Disconnect the connectors from the steering pad.
Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector E.
- CAUTION:
- Never connect a tester to the steering pad (driver side squib) 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.
- Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.
- SST
- 09843-18061
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.
Clear the DTCs (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XFE06SX.html).
Turn the ignition switch off.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.
Check the DTCs (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XFE06SX.html).
- OK:
- DTC B1800, B1801, B1802, B1803 or 51 is not output.
- HINT:
- DTCs other than DTC B1800, B1801, B1802, B1803 or 51 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

2.CHECK CONNECTOR |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Disconnect SST from the spiral cable.
Check that the spiral cable connectors (on the steering pad side) are not damaged.
- OK:
- Lock button is not disengaged, and claw of lock is not deformed or damaged.

OK | |
3.CHECK DRIVER SIDE SQUIB CIRCUIT |
Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor.
![]() |
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection Specified Condition D+ - Body ground Below 1 V D- - Body ground Below 1 V
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition D+ - D- Below 1 Ω D+ - Body ground 1 MΩ or higher D- - Body ground 1 MΩ or higher
Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XFD06JX.html).
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition D+ - D- 1 MΩ or higher

4.CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE |
Restore the released activation prevention mechanism of connector B to its original position.
![]() |
Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the spiral cable.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection Specified Condition E11-1 (D+) - Body ground Below 1 V E11-2 (D-) - Body ground Below 1 V
Turn the ignition switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition E11-1 (D+) - E11-2 (D-) Below 1 Ω E11-1 (D+) - Body ground 1 MΩ or higher E11-2 (D-) - Body ground 1 MΩ or higher
Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XFD06JX.html).
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition E11-1 (D+) - E11-2 (D-) 1 MΩ or higher
