Subaru Crosstrek Service Manual: Dtc b1836 open in curtain airbag lh squib circuit

Diagnosis start condition:

Ignition voltage is 10 V to 16 V.

DTC detecting condition:

• Curtain airbag harness (LH) circuit is open.

• Curtain airbag module (LH) is faulty.

• Airbag control module is faulty.

Before performing diagnosis, refer to “CAUTION” in “General Description”. General Description > CAUTION">

1.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS.

Check for poor contact of the connectors between the airbag control module, curtain airbag module LH and the curtain airbag sensor LH.

Is there poor contact?

Replace the airbag rear harness along with body harness.

2.CHECK CURTAIN AIRBAG MODULE.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the connector (AB31) from curtain airbag module (LH).

3) Connect the connector (1N) in the test harness N to the connector (AB31).

4) Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2N) of test harness N.

5) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.

Does the airbag warning light illuminate for 6 seconds and go off?

Replace the curtain airbag module (LH). Curtain Airbag Module">

3.CHECK AIRBAG REAR HARNESS (CURTAIN AIRBAG MODULE HARNESS LH).

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the connector (AB21) from seat belt pretensioner (LH).

3) Disconnect connector (AB19) from side airbag module (LH).

4) Disconnect the airbag resistor from test harness N.

5) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module.

6) Connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18).

7) Measure the resistance between connector (6AG) in the test harness AG and connector (2N) in the test harness N.

Connector & terminal

(6AG) No. 1 — (2N) No. 2:
(6AG) No. 3 — (2N) No. 1:

Is the resistance less than 10 ??
