DTC Code DTC Name
B167B Lost Communication with Front Door Pressure Sensor LH
B167C Front Door Pressure Sensor LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The circuit for the side collision sensor LH is composed of the airbag ECU assembly, side airbag sensor assembly LH and door side airbag sensor LH.

The side airbag sensor assembly LH and door side airbag sensor LH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B167B or B167C is stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor LH.
