Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1617/84,B1618/84; Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor LH; 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]

DTC

B1617/84

Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor LH

DTC

B1618/84

Front Airbag Sensor LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

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

The front airbag sensor LH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the center airbag sensor to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B1617/84 or B1618/84 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor LH circuit.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B1617/84

B1618/84

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 LH circuit for 2 seconds.
  • Front airbag sensor LH malfunction
  • Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction
  • Instrument panel wire
  • Engine room main wire
  • Front airbag sensor LH
  • 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 LH.

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 LH.

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

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

NG

REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK

4.

5.

CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH

(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 ).
