Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Front airbag sensor lh circuit malfunction
Description
The front airbag sensor lh consists of the diagnostic circuit, the frontal deceleration sensor, etc.
If the center airbag sensor receives signals from the frontal deceleration sensor, it determines whether or not the srs should be activated.
Dtc b1615/14 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor lh circuit.
