DTC Code DTC Name
B1617/84 Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor LH
B1618/84 Front Airbag Sensor LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor LH circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor LH.

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

DTC B1617/84 or B1618/84 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor LH circuit.
