Toyota 4Runner: Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor RH (B1612/83,B1613/83)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / 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 and front airbag sensor RH.

The front airbag sensor RH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the center airbag sensor to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B1612/83 or B1613/83 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B1612/83	One of the following conditions is met: The center airbag sensor detects a line short circuit signal, open circuit signal, short circuit to ground signal or short circuit to B+ signal in the front airbag sensor RH circuit for 2 seconds. A front airbag sensor RH malfunction. A center airbag sensor malfunction.	Instrument panel wire Engine room main wire Front airbag sensor RH Center airbag sensor assembly
B1613/83	One of the following conditions is met: The center airbag sensor detects a line short circuit signal, open circuit signal, short circuit to ground signal or short circuit to B+ signal in the front airbag sensor RH circuit for 2 seconds. A front airbag sensor RH malfunction. A center airbag sensor malfunction.	Instrument panel wire Engine room main wire Front airbag sensor RH Center airbag sensor assembly

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

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

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

2.	CHECK CONNECTORS

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

(b) Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor side and front airbag sensor RH side) are not damaged.

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
A35-2 (+SR) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
A35-1 (-SR) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

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

(e) Using a service wire, connect terminals 29 (+SR) and 27 (-SR) of connector B.

NOTICE:

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

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A35-2 (+SR) - A35-1 (-SR)	Always	Below 1 Ω

(g) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A35-2 (+SR) - A35-1 (-SR)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
A35-2 (+SR) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
A35-1 (-SR) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

GO TO STEP 5

4.	CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR RH

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

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

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory (See page
).

(f) Turn the ignition switch off.

(g) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs (See page ).

Result

Result	Proceed to
DTC B1612, B1613, B1617 and B1618 are not output	A
DTC B1617 or B1618 is output	B
DTC B1612 or B1613 is output	C

HINT:

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