Lexus NX: Lost Communication with Side Airbag Sensor RH (B1692,B1693,B1697,B1698)
DESCRIPTION
The circuit for the side collision sensor LH or RH is composed of the airbag ECU assembly, side airbag sensor assembly LH or RH and door side airbag sensor LH or RH.
The side airbag sensor assembly LH or RH and door side airbag sensor LH or RH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the airbag should be deployed.
DTC B1692, B1693, B1697 or B1698 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor LH or RH.
