B1618





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: B1608/84, B1617/84, B1618/84: Front Satellite Sensor Bus LH Initialization Incomplete
B1608/84 - Front Satellite Sensor Bus LH Initialization Incomplete
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 assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor LH circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

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

(c) 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 -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor LH.

(b) 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 WIRE HARNESS
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH (OPEN)

(a) Using a service wire, connect terminals 30 (+SL) and 28 (-SL) of connector B.





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

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

Standard resistance:





NG -- CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (OPEN)
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH (SHORT)

(a) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.





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

Standard resistance:





NG -- CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (SHORT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH (SHORT TO B+)

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





(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

Standard voltage:





NG -- CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (SHORT TO B+)
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH (SHORT TO GROUND)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.





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

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

Standard resistance:





NG -- CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (SHORT TO GROUND)
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH

(a) Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly.





(b) Interchange the front airbag sensor RH with LH and connect the connectors to them.

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

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(f) Turn the engine switch off.

(g) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result:





HINT
Codes other than DTC B1608, B1617, B1618, or 84 and B1603, B1612, B1613, or 83 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

A -- REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Removal

B -- REPLACE FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH Removal

C -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK Diagnosis System

8. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (OPEN)

(a) Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the engine room main wire.





HINT
The service wire has already been inserted into connector B.

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

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE

OK -- REPLACE ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE

9. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (SHORT)

(a) Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the engine room main wire.





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

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE

OK -- REPLACE ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE

10. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (SHORT TO B+)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.





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

(c) Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the engine room main wire.

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

(e) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

Standard voltage:





NG -- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE

OK -- REPLACE ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE

11. CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE (SHORT TO GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the engine room main wire.





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

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE

OK -- REPLACE ENGINE ROOM MAIN WIRE
