DTC B1493-1A: Pedestrian Airbag Deployment Control - Circuit resistance below threshold: Action
NOTE:
The deployable device connector has a locking plunger (orange tab) which should only fully lock when the two connectors are securely mated, male to female. If the plunger can move to the locked position easily when not mated (i.e.: using reasonable pressure), then this indicates that the connector is damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
- Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check datalogger signal - Deployment Control 12 Resistance (0x5B0F). If the resistance is too low, disconnect and reconnect the pedestrian airbag connector, making sure that the connector plunger is correctly engaged. Clear the Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) and retest
- Disconnect the pedestrian airbag connector and apply light pressure to the connector plunger. If the plunger moves to the engaged position the connector is damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
- Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and inspect the pedestrian airbag circuit for short circuit between power and ground
- Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) and retest. If the fault persists, install a new pedestrian airbag
