Lexus NX: Front Airbag Sensor Lost Communication (LH) (B1617,B1618)

Lexus NX Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Supplemental Restraint Systems / Airbag System / Front Airbag Sensor Lost Communication (LH) (B1617,B1618)

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor LH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly and front airbag sensor LH.

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

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

DTC No.
