AIRBAG SYSTEM(w/ Curtain Shield Airbag), Diagnostic DTC:B162B/85, B162C/85

DTC Code DTC Name
B162B/85 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Lost Communication (RH)
B162C/85 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No.2 Initialization Error (RH)

DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor RH circuit (bus 2) consists of the airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor assembly RH.

The side airbag sensor assembly RH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the airbag sensor 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 RH circuit (bus 2).

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor assembly RH.

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

      Tech Tips

      If the connectors are not properly connected, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

    4. Disconnect the connectors from the airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor assembly RH.

    5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

      OK
      The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

      Using a service wire, connect terminals 20 (BCR+) and 19 (BCR-) of connector B.

      Note

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

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      K49-2 (BBR+) - K49-1 (BBR-) Always Below 1 Ω

    3. Disconnect the service wire from connector B.
