DTC B1642: Side Satellite Sensor Bus Lost Communication (RH); DTC B1643: Side Satellite Sensor Bus Initialization Error (RH) [02/2019 - 08/2020]: Description

The side collision sensor RH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly, side airbag pressure sensor RH and No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly RH.

The No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly RH and side airbag pressure sensor RH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the SRS should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor RH circuit.
