Rear Airbag Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction (B1630/23,B1635/24)
- The rear airbag sensor consists of the safing sensor, diagnostic circuit, lateral deceleration sensor, etc.
- If the center airbag sensor receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, it determines whether the SRS should be activated.
- DTC B1630 or B1635 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the rear airbag sensor circuit.
