DTC

B1612

Front Airbag Sensor Lost Communication (RH)

DTC

B1613

Front Airbag Sensor RH Initialization

DESCRIPTION

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

The front airbag sensor RH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the SRS should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

PROCEDURE

1.	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.

The connectors are not properly connected

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

The connectors are properly connected

2.	CHECK CONNECTORS

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

*1	Front Airbag Sensor RH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	Engine Room Main Wire
*4	Instrument Panel Wire

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

The connectors are deformed or damaged

REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE OR ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE

The connectors are not deformed or damaged

3.	CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH CIRCUIT

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

*1	Front Airbag Sensor RH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly
*3	Engine Room Main Wire
*4	Instrument Panel Wire
*5	Service Wire
*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Front Airbag Sensor RH)
*b	Front view of wire harness connector (to Airbag ECU Assembly)

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
A46-2 (+SR) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
A46-1 (-SR) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

(d) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(f) Using a service wire, connect terminals 29 (+SR) and 28 (-SR) of connector B.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting a service wire.

(g) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A46-2 (+SR) - A46-1 (-SR)	Always	Below 1 Ω

(h) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

(i) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A46-2 (+SR) - A46-1 (-SR)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
A46-2 (+SR) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
A46-1 (-SR) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

GO TO STEP 5

4.	CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH

(a) Connect the connectors to the airbag ECU assembly.

*1	Front Airbag Sensor LH
*2	Airbag ECU Assembly

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

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

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1612, B1613, B1617 and B1618 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(k) Return the front airbag sensor LH and RH to their original positions and connect the connectors to them.

DTC B1612 or B1613 is output

REPLACE AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY

DTC B1617 or B1618 is output
