B0067 Airbag Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

B0067 Airbag Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

The B0067 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates that the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) has detected a fault in an airbag deployment circuit, crash sensor, or related communication circuit. The exact definition varies by vehicle manufacturer, but the diagnostic procedure is generally similar across most vehicles.

Symptoms

✔ Airbag warning light remains ON
✔ B0067 stored in the SRS module
✔ Airbag system disabled
✔ Possible communication or sensor fault

Possible Causes

  • Defective crash (impact) sensor.
  • Damaged side airbag circuit.
  • Open or short in the SRS wiring harness.
  • Loose or corroded connector.
  • Clock spring failure.
  • Faulty Airbag Control Module (ACM / RCM / SDM / ORC).

Live Data Inspection

Live Data Item Typical Value
Crash Sensor Status OK / Active
Communication Status Normal
Battery Voltage 11.5–14.8 V
Crash Event Inactive
Airbag Lamp OFF (Normal)

Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Read all stored SRS DTCs.
  2. Enter the Live Data screen.
  3. Verify crash sensor communication.
  4. Inspect connectors for corrosion or loose terminals.
  5. Check battery voltage and module power supply.
  6. Perform wiring continuity tests if Live Data is missing.
  7. Repair the fault, erase the code, and verify normal operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can B0067 be caused by a poor connector?

Yes. Loose, damaged, or corroded connectors are a common cause of SRS faults.

Can Live Data identify the failed sensor?

In many vehicles, Live Data can show whether the crash sensor is communicating correctly or reporting a fault.

Should the Airbag Control Module be replaced first?

No. Always inspect wiring, connectors, voltage supply, and sensors before replacing the control module.

Note: Live Data values, circuit diagrams, connector pinouts, and sensor parameters vary by manufacturer. The values shown above are typical examples and should be verified using the factory service information for the specific vehicle.
