DTC

B1637/82

Lost Communication with Rear Airbag Sensor LH

DESCRIPTION

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

The side airbag sensor LH and rear airbag sensor LH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the center airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B1637/82 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor LH (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH).

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B1637/82

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 circuit for the side collision sensor LH (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH) for 2 seconds.
  • Side airbag sensor LH malfunction
  • Rear airbag sensor LH malfunction
  • Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction
  • Floor wire
  • Front door wire LH
  • Side airbag sensor LH
  • Rear airbag sensor LH
  • Center airbag sensor assembly

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.

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, side airbag sensor LH and rear airbag sensor LH.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

NG

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

OK

2.

CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor LH and rear airbag sensor LH.

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

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

NG

REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK

3.

CHECK SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR LH

(a) Interchange the side airbag sensor RH with LH 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 (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

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