AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1612/83 and B1613/83

DTC Code DTC Name
B1612/83 Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH
B1613/83 Front Airbag Sensor RH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor RH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor and front airbag sensor RH.

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

DTC B1612/83 or B1613/83 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

DTC No.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work (Click here).

  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (Click here).

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

    1. Turn the engine switch off.

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

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and front airbag sensor RH.

      OK

      The connectors are properly connected.
