SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1620/21,B1625/22: Driver Side - Side Airbag Sensor Circuit Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

The side airbag sensor assembly LH consists of parts such as the safing sensor, the diagnostic circuit and the lateral deceleration sensor. The configuration of the side airbag sensor assembly RH is the same as that of the LH.

When the airbag sensor assembly center receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, it determines whether or not the SRS should be activated.

DTC B1620/21 is set when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor assembly (driver seat side) circuit.

DTC B1625/22 is set when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor assembly (front passenger seat side) circuit.
