Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Lost communication with front satellite sensor bus lh

Toyota RAV4. Lost communication with front satellite sensor bus lh


Description

The front airbag sensor lh consists of the diagnostic circuit and the frontal deceleration sensor.

If the center airbag sensor receives signals from the frontal deceleration sensor, it determines whether or not the srs should be activated.

Dtc b1607/84, b1608/84, b1617/84 or b1618/84 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor lh circuit.

Inspection procedure

  1. Check connection of connector

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
  3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and the front airbag sensor lh.

Ok: the connectors are properly connected.



  1. Check front airbag sensor lh circuit (open)

  1. Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor and the front airbag sensor lh.
  2. Using a service wire, connect a15-2 (+sl) and a15-1 (- sl) of connector e.

Notice:

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

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance




  1. Check front airbag sensor lh circuit (short)
