B163C

Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Initialization Error (LH)

DTC

B1699

No.2 Side Satellite Sensor Bus LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor LH circuit (bus 2) consists of the airbag sensor assembly and side No. 1 airbag sensor LH.

The side No. 1 airbag sensor LH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbags and pretensioners should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the side collision sensor LH circuit (bus 2).
