DTC B1642/81 - Lost Communication with Driver Side Satellite Sensor Bus

DTC B1643/81 - Driver Side Satellite Sensor Bus Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The driver side - side collision sensor circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH) is composed of the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor LH, and rear airbag sensor LH.
The side airbag sensor LH and rear airbag sensor LH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the center airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.
These DTCs are recorded when a malfunction is detected for the driver side - side collision sensor circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH).
