Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Indicator Circuit Malfunction (B1660/43)
The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly and passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator.
The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator indicates the operation condition of the instrument panel passenger airbag, lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag, front seat side airbag RH and front seat outer belt RH.
DTC B1660/43 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator circuit.
