B1618

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1617/84, B1618/84:

B1618/84 - Front Airbag Sensor LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor LH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor LH.

The front airbag sensor LH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the center airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B1617/84 or B1618/84 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor LH circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly and the front airbag sensor LH.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

NG -- CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor LH.

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

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

NG -- REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH CIRCUIT





Text in Illustration





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

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(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 30 (+SL) and 28 (-SL) of connector B.

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

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

Standard Resistance:





(h) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY - ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE)
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH





(a) Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly.

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

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

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

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(h) Check for DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

5. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY - ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE)





Text in Illustration





(a) Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the engine room main wire.

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

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(g) Using a service wire, connect terminals 30 (+SL) and 28 (-SL) of connector B.

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

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

Standard Resistance:





(i) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE

OK -- REPLACE ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE
