Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM (w/o Occupant Classification System): B1633; Curtain Shield Airbag Sensor Initialization Error (RH); 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [11/2018 - 08/2020]

DTC

B1633

Curtain Shield Airbag Sensor Initialization Error (RH)

DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor RH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly, side airbag pressure sensor RH and No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly RH.

The No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly RH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the SRS should be deployed.

DTC B1633 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor RH circuit.

DTC No.
