DTC B1633/81
Incomplete
DESCRIPTION
The side airbag sensor LH and the rear airbag sensor LH consist of parts including the diagnostic circuit
and the lateral deceleration sensor.
When center airbag sensor assembly receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, it determines
whether or not the SRS should be activated.
DTC B1632/81 and B1633/81 are set when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor LH or rear
airbag sensor LH circuit.
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
• Center airbag sensor assembly detects RS
open circuit signal in side airbag sensor
LH circuit or rear airbag sensor LH circuit • Floor wire No.2
B1632/81 for 2 seconds, • Side airbag sensor LH
B1633/81 • Side airbag sensor LH malfunction • Rear airbag sensor LH
• Rear airbag sensor LH malfunction • Center airbag sensor assembly
• Center airbag sensor assembly
malfunction

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
In order to prevent unexpected airbag deployment, disconnect the following connectors before
inspecting parts such as wire harnesses, if the application of tester probes to the center airbag
sensor assembly connector is necessary.
1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Disconnect the connector from the center airbag sensor assembly.
4. Disconnect the connectors from the steering pad.
5. Disconnect the connectors from the front passenger airbag assembly.
6. Disconnect the connector from the front seat outer belt assembly LH.
7. Disconnect the connector from the front seat outer belt assembly RH.
HINT:
Skip the following steps if side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not fitted.
8. Disconnect the connector from the front seat side airbag assembly LH.
9. Disconnect the connector from the front seat side airbag assembly RH.
10.Disconnect the connector from the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
11.Disconnect the connector from the curtain shield airbag assembly RH.

1 CHECK CONNECTORS (SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR LH - REAR AIRBAG SENSOR LH)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the
battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
(c) Disconnect the floor wire No.2 connectors from the side
airbag sensor LH and the rear airbag sensor LH.

(d) Check the floor wire No.2 connectors and terminals (on
the side airbag sensor LH and the rear airbag sensor LH
sides) and check that the connectors are properly
connected.
