DTC 24: Passenger-Side Air Bag Module Short 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.
  1. Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Disable air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . If DTC 34 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC 34 is not retrieved, go to step  6.
  2. Inspect SRS ECU connector C-115. See Figure. If connector is not connected properly, connect properly. Go to step  7. If connector is connected properly, go to next step.
  3. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect, then reconnect passenger-side air bag module connector C-09 and SRS ECU connector C-115. Connect negative battery cable. Using scan tool erase, then retrieve DTC's. If DTC 24 is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC 24 is not retrieved, system is normal at this time.
  4. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect passenger-side air bag connector C-09. Connect Resistor Harness (MB991866) to connector C-09 by backprobing connector. Connect Load Resistor (MB991865) to resistor harness. Connect negative battery cable. Using scan tool erase, then check for DTC's. If DTC 24, is retrieved, go to next step. If DTC 24 is not retrieved, replace passenger-side air bag module. See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step  7.
  5. Disconnect SRS ECU connector C-115. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module connector C-09. Insert a cable tie or similar insulator between terminals No. 9 and 10 of SRS ECU connector to release shorting bar. See Figure. Check for continuity between terminals. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, erase, then retrieve DTC's using scan tool. If DTC 24 is retrieved, replace SRS ECU. See SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (SRS ECU)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Go to step  7.
  6. Check wire harness between SRS ECU and passenger-side air bag module for damage. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If wire harness is okay, go to next step. Replace wire harness if damaged. Go to next step.
  7. Reconnect all SRS components. Activate air bag system. Using scan tool retrieve DTC's. If DTC 24 is retrieved, go to step  1. If DTC 24 is not retrieved, system is normal at this time. Intermittent condition may exist.
