Driver Side - Side Airbag Sensor Circuit Malfunction - Airbag System








SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1620/21: Driver Side - Side Airbag Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC B1620/21 - Driver Side - Side Airbag Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC B1625/22 - Front Passenger Side - Side Airbag Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The side airbag sensor LH and RH consists of the safing sensor, the diagnostic circuit, the lateral deceleration sensor, etc.
If the center airbag sensor receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, it determines whether the SRS should be activated.
DTC B1620/21or B1625/22 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor LH or RH circuit.
