Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Driver side - side airbag sensor circuit malfunction
Description
The side airbag sensor lh consists of part including the diagnostic circuit and the lateral deceleration sensor.
When the center airbag sensor receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, it determines whether or not the srs should be activated.
Dtc b1620/21 is set when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor lh circuit.

Intake air temperature sensor gradient too high
Description
The intake air temperature (iat) sensor, mounted on the mass air flow (maf)
meter, monitors the iat.
The iat sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according
to the temperature of the
intake air. When the iat is low, the resistance of the thermist ...
