AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1617/84, B1618/84

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 center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor LH.

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

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

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

B1617/84

B1618/84

When one of following conditions is met:


  • The center airbag sensor assembly receives a line short circuit signal, an open circuit signal, a short circuit to ground signal or a short circuit to B+ signal in the front airbag sensor LH circuit for 2 seconds.

  • Front airbag sensor LH malfunction

  • Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction

  • Instrument panel wire

  • Engine room main wire

  • Front airbag sensor LH

  • Center airbag sensor assembly

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

      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 LH.

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

      OK
      The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

    NG

    REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A5-2 (+SL) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V
      A5-1 (-SL) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V

    4. Turn the ignition 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 30 (+SL) and 28 (-SL) of connector B.

      Note

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

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A5-2 (+SL) - A5-1 (-SL) 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
      A5-2 (+SL) - A5-1 (-SL) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A5-2 (+SL) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A5-1 (-SL) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

    *a Front Airbag Sensor RH
    *b 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 cable to the negative battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

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

    6. Turn the ignition switch off.

    7. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
