AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B163B/86, B163C/86

DTC Code DTC Name
B163B/86 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Lost Communication (LH)
B163C/86 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Initialization Error (LH)

DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor LH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly, door side airbag sensor LH, side airbag sensor assembly LH and rear airbag sensor LH.

The door side airbag sensor LH, side airbag sensor assembly LH and rear airbag sensor LH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the airbags and pretensioners should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the side collision sensor LH circuit.

      Proceed to
      The connectors are properly connected
      The connectors are not properly connected

    The connectors are not properly connected

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

    The connectors are properly connected

  2. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Disconnect the connectors from the airbag ECU assembly and side airbag sensor assembly LH.

    2. B000W23C33
      *1 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly LH
      *2 Airbag ECU Assembly
      *3 Floor Wire

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

      Result
      Proceed to
      The connectors are not deformed or damaged
      The connectors are deformed or damaged

    The connectors are deformed or damaged

      (to Airbag ECU Assembly)

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

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      X76-2 (BFL+) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) Below 1 V
      X76-1 (BFL-) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) Below 1 V

    4. Turn the engine switch off.

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

    6. Using a service wire, connect terminals 29 (BCL+) and 30 (BCL-) of connector B.

      Note

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

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      X76-2 (BFL+) - X76-1 (BFL-) Always Below 1 Ω

    8. Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      X76-2 (BFL+) - X76-1 (BFL-) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      X76-2 (BFL+) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      X76-1 (BFL-) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
