Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1612/83,B1613/83; Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH; 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]

DTC

B1612/83

Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH

DTC

B1613/83

Front Airbag Sensor RH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor RH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH.

The front 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 B1612/83 or B1613/83 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B1612/83

B1613/83

When one of following conditions is met:

  • The center airbag sensor assembly receives a line short circuit signal, an open circuit signal, a short circuit to ground signal or a short circuit to B+ signal in the front airbag sensor RH circuit for 2 seconds.
  • Front airbag sensor RH malfunction
  • Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction
  • Instrument panel wire
  • Engine room main wire
  • Front airbag sensor RH
  • Center airbag sensor assembly

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(c) Check for DTCs (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

OK:

DTC B161A/8A is not output.

NG

GO TO DTC B161A/8A

OK

2.

CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

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

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

NG

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

OK

3.

CHECK CONNECTORS

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

(b) Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor assembly side and front airbag sensor RH side) are not damaged.

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

NG

REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK

4.

5.

CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH

(a) Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly.

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

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

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

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(h) Check for DTCs (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
