SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1622/81,B1623/81,B1632/81,B1633/81,B1642/81,B1643/81: Lost communication with Side Airbag Sensor RH
B1643/81 - Side Satellite Sensor Bus RH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor RH circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly RH, rear seat side airbag assembly RH and curtain shield airbag assembly RH) is composed of the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor RH, and rear airbag sensor RH.

The side airbag sensor RH and rear airbag sensor RH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the center airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

Theses DTCs are recorded when a malfunction is detected for the side collision sensor RH circuit (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag assembly RH, rear seat side airbag assembly RH and curtain shield airbag assembly RH).
