Airbag System (Except TMC Made)

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM (except TMC Made): B1620/21: Side Airbag Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction
B1620/21 - Side Airbag Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

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

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

DTC B1620/21 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor RH.

(d) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(e) Turn the ignition switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(f) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Airbag System (except TMC Made).

(g) Turn the ignition switch off.

(h) Turn the ignition switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(i) Check for DTCs Airbag System (except TMC Made).

Result:





HINT
Codes other than DTCs B1620/21 and B1625/22 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

C -- REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Removal

B -- REPLACE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR RH Removal

A -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK How To Proceed With Troubleshooting
