Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Front Airbag Sensor Lost Communication (RH) (B1612,B1613)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Vehicle Interior / Supplemental Restraint Systems / Airbag System / Front Airbag Sensor Lost Communication (RH) (B1612,B1613)

DESCRIPTION

The front airbag sensor RH circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH.

The front airbag sensor RH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends signals to the airbag sensor assembly to determine if the airbags, pretensioners and selectable force limiter should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the front airbag sensor RH circuit.

DTC No.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor RH. Also check that the connectors that link the engine room main wire and instrument panel wire are properly connected.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.
