AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1638/82

DTC Code DTC Name
B1638/82 Rear Airbag Sensor Assembly LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor LH circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH) is composed of the airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor assembly LH and No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly LH.

The side airbag sensor assembly LH and No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly LH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

This DTC is stored when a malfunction is detected for the side collision sensor LH circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH).

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1638/82

  • The 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 side collision sensor LH circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly LH and curtain shield airbag assembly LH).

  • Side airbag sensor assembly LH malfunction

  • No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly LH malfunction

  • Airbag sensor assembly malfunction

  • Floor wire

  • No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly LH
