DTC

B15C4

Airbag Signal Malfunction/Not Input

DESCRIPTION

If the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) detects an error in communication between the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) and the center airbag sensor assembly as a result of the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) self check, this DTC will be set.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B15C4

DCM (Telematics Transceiver) detects an error in signals from center airbag sensor assembly when ignition switch is ON.

  • Airbag system
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Center airbag sensor assembly
  • DCM (Telematics Transceiver)

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK DTC (AIRBAG SYSTEM)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 10 seconds.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Check the DTC of "AIRBAG SYSTEM" (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
