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.

DTC No.
