SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1622/81,B1623/81,B1642/81,B1643/81,B1692/81,B1693/81: Lost Communication with Driver Side - Side Airbag Sensor Assembly
B1693/81 - Driver Side Door Side Airbag Sensor Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The driver side - side collision sensor circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH) is composed of the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor LH (for rear side) and side airbag sensor (for front side).

The side airbag sensor LH (for rear side) and side airbag sensor (for front side) detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the center airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

Theses DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the driver side - side collision sensor circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH).
