Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 LX570)

DTC

B1608/84

Front Satellite Sensor Bus LH Initialization Incomplete

DTC

B1617/84

Lost Communication with Front Airbag Sensor LH

DTC

B1618/84

Front Airbag Sensor LH Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor LH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor and front airbag sensor LH.

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

DTC B1608/84, B1617/84 or B1618/84 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor LH circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

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

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and the front airbag sensor LH.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

OK

2.

CHECK CONNECTORS

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

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

OK:

The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

OK

3.

CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH CIRCUIT



(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

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