Toyota Venza: Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH (B1612/83,B1613/83)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / Supplemental Restraint Systems / Airbag System / Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH (B1612/83,B1613/83)

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor RH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH.

The front airbag sensor RH 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 RH circuit.

WIRING DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH. Also check that the connectors that link the engine room main wire and instrument panel wire are properly connected.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH. Also disconnect the connectors that link the engine room main wire and instrument panel wire.

(e) Check that the connector terminals are not damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE WIRE HARNESS

2.	CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH CIRCUIT (OPEN)

(a) Connect the connectors that link the engine room main wire and instrument panel wire.

(b) Using SST, connect terminals 29 (+SR) and 27 (-SR) of connector B.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting.

SST: 09843-18040

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A24-2 (+SR) - A24-1 (-SR)	Always	Below 1 Ω
