Toyota 4Runner: Lost Communication with Door Side Airbag Sensor RH (B1692/81,B1697/82)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Supplemental Restraint Systems / Airbag System / Lost Communication with Door Side Airbag Sensor RH (B1692/81,B1697/82)

DESCRIPTION

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

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

DTC B1692/81 or B1697/82 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor LH or RH (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag LH or RH and curtain shield airbag LH or RH).

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
