B163B |
Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Lost Communication (LH) |
|
DTC |
B163C |
Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Initialization Error (LH) |
DESCRIPTION
The side collision sensor LH circuit (bus 2) consists of the airbag ECU 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 ECU 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).

CHECK SIDE NO. 1 AIRBAG SENSOR LH |
|
(a) Connect the connector to the airbag ECU assembly. |
|
(b) Interchange the side No. 1 airbag sensor LH with RH and connect the connectors.
(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
(d) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.
(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.
Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs
(f) Turn the power switch off.
(g) Turn the power switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.
(h) Check for DTCs.
Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes
