Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Lost communication with front passenger side - side airbag sensor assembly
Description
The side airbag sensor rh consists of parts 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 b1627/82 is set when a malfunction is detected in the side airbag sensor rh circuit.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check connection of connector
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor, rear airbag sensor rh and the side airbag sensor rh.
Ok: the connectors are properly connected.
- Check floor wire (open)
- Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor and the side airbag sensor rh.
- Using a service wire, connect l10-4 (bbr+) and l10-3 (bbr-) of connector c.
Notice:
Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance
- Check floor wire (short)
- Disconnect the service wire from connector c.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Check floor wire (to b+)
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 
- Check floor wire (to ground)
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Check side airbag sensor rh
- Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor.
- Interchange the side airbag sensor rh with the side airbag sensor lh and connect the connectors to them.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
- Clear the dtcs (see page rs-49).
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
- Check for dtcs (see page rs-49).

Hint:
Dtcs other than dtc b1622/81 and b1627/82 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
