AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1603/83, B1612/83

DTC Code DTC Name
B1603/83 Front Satellite Sensor Bus RH Initialization Incomplete
B1612/83 Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH

DESCRIPTION

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

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

DTC B1603/83 or B1613/83 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • After turning the power switch OFF, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary 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 power switch OFF.

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

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

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

    NG

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

    OK

  2. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH.

    2. Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor assembly side and front airbag sensor RH side) are not damaged.

      OK
      The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

    NG

    REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH CIRCUIT

    A000ZU6E02

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

    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).

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

      Standard voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A53-2 (+SR) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) Below 1 V
      A53-1 (-SR) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) Below 1 V

    4. Turn the power switch OFF.

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

    6. Using a service wire, connect terminals 29 (+SR) and 27 (-SR) 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
      A53-2 (+SR) - A53-1 (-SR) 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
      A53-2 (+SR) - A53-1 (-SR) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A53-2 (+SR) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A53-1 (-SR) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

  4. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH

    A000VDZE43
    *1 Front Airbag Sensor LH
    *2 Center Airbag Sensor Assembly

    1. Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly.

    2. Interchange the front airbag sensor LH with RH and connect the connectors to them.

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

    4. Turn the power switch ON (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

    5. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Click here.

    6. Turn the power switch OFF.

    7. Turn the power switch ON (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

    8. Check for DTCs Click here.
