AIRBAG SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1610/13

DTC Code DTC Name
B1610/13 Front Airbag Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor RH consists of a diagnostic circuit and frontal deceleration sensor, etc. If the center airbag sensor receives signals from the frontal deceleration sensor, it determines whether the SRS should be activated.

DTC B1610/13 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work Click here.

  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) 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 ignition switch off.

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

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

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

    NG
    OK
  2. CHECK CONNECTORS


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

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

      OK
      The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

    NG
    OK
  3. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH CIRCUIT

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

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A17-2 (+SR) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V
      A17-1 (-SR) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V
    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    5. 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.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A17-2 (+SR) - A17-1 (-SR) Always Below 1 Ω
    7. Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A17-2 (+SR) - A17-1 (-SR) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A17-2 (+SR) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A17-1 (-SR) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

    NG
    OK
  4. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH

    *1 Front Airbag Sensor LH
    *2 Center Airbag Sensor

    1. Connect the connector to the center airbag sensor.

    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.

    8. Check for DTCs Click here.
