B1623





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1623/81: Side Airbag Sensor Assembly RH Initialization Incomplete
B1623/81 - Side Airbag Sensor Assembly RH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The circuit for the side collision sensor RH (to determine deployment of the curtain shield airbag RH) is composed of the center airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor RH (for rear side).

The side airbag sensor RH (for rear side) detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the center airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B1623/81 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor RH (to determine deployment of the curtain shield airbag RH).

(d) Check the past DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result





A -- GO TO DTC B1622/81 B1620

B -- GO TO DTC B1627/82 B1625
C -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor RH (for front side).

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

NG -- CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor RH (for front side).

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

NG -- REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR RH (FOR FRONT SIDE)

(a) Interchange the side airbag sensor RH (for front side) with side airbag sensor LH (for front side) and connect the connectors to them.





(b) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(g) Check for DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(e) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(f) Using a service wire, connect terminals 1 and 2 of connector E.

NOTICE:
Do not forcibly insert a service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

(g) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





(h) Disconnect the service wire from connector E.

(i) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- CHECK FLOOR WIRE (SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR RH (REAR SIDE) - FRONT DOOR WIRE RH)
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK FLOOR WIRE (SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR RH (FOR REAR SIDE) - REAR AIRBAG SENSOR RH)





Text in Illustration





(a) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(d) Turn the ignition switch off.

(e) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(f) Using a service wire, connect terminals 2 and 1 of connector C.

NOTICE:
Do not forcibly insert a service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

(g) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





(h) Disconnect the service wire from connector C.

(i) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPLACE FLOOR WIRE
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR RH (FOR REAR SIDE)





(a) Interchange the side airbag sensor RH with side airbag sensor LH (for rear side) and connect the connectors to them.

(b) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(g) Check for DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
