DTC 22: Driver-Side Air Bag Module Open Circuit
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect driver-side air bag module connector C-306. See Figure. Connect Load Resistor (MB891865) to Resistor Harness (MB991866). Connect resistor harness to upper clockspring connector C-306. See Figure. Connect negative battery cable. Using scan tool, retrieve DTC's. If DTC 22 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC 22 is not retrieved, replace driver-side air bag module. See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE & CLOCKSPRING under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step 4.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect clockspring connector C-307. Connect resistor harness to clockspring connector C-307 by backprobing connector terminals No. 3 and 4. See Figure. Connect negative battery cable. Using scan tool erase, then retrieve DTC's. If DTC 22 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC 22 is not retrieved, replace clockspring. Go to step 4.
- Disconnect SRS ECU connector C-115 and clockspring connector C-307. Check for continuity between connector C-115, terminal No. 11 (Yellow/Black wire) and clockspring connector C-307, terminal No. 3. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check for continuity between connector C-115, terminal No. 12 (Yellow wire) and clockspring connector C-307, terminal No. 4. If continuity exists in both circuits, recheck for DTC's If DTC 22 is retrieved, replace SRS ECU. See SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (SRS ECU) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to next step. If continuity does not exist, replace wire harness between SRS ECU and clockspring. Go to next step.
- Reconnect all SRS components. Activate air bag system. Using scan tool retrieve DTC's. If DTC 22 is retrieved, go to step 1. If DTC 22, is not retrieved, system is normal at this time. Intermittent condition may exist.
