Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM (for HV Model): B163B,B163C; Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Lost Communication (LH); 2020 - 2022 MY Corolla Corolla HV [01/2019 - 09/2022]

DTC

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 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).

DTC No.
