SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1000/31: Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Malfunction
B1000/31 - Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The center airbag sensor assembly consists of the airbag sensor, the safing sensor, the drive circuit, the diagnosis circuit, the ignition control, etc.

If the center airbag sensor assembly receives signals from the airbag sensor, it determines whether or not the SRS should be activated.

DTC B1000/31 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the center airbag sensor assembly.





HINT
When a malfunction code is displayed simultaneously with B1000/31, repair the malfunction indicated by this code (except B1000/31) first.
