DTC B15C4-64: Airbag Signal Signal Plausibility Failure [10/2019 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 300h, 2023 Lexus ES 300h, 2022 Lexus ES 300h, 2021 Lexus ES 300h, and 2020 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC (AIRBAG SYSTEM) 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the power switch on (IG) and wait for 10 seconds or more.
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Clear the DTCs.

      Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs 

    6. Check for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.

      Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes 

      OK

      No DTCs are output.

      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [06/2018 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) (GSW SIGNAL) 
    1. Remove the DCM (telematics transceiver) but do not disconnect the connectors.

      *a Component with harness connected
      (DCM (Telematics Transceiver))

      Refer to REMOVAL [10/2019 - 08/2020] , or refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 09/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]

    2. Check the input waveform.
      1. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below. (Check the waveform from the back of the wire harness connector of the DCM (telematics transceiver) while the airbag ECU assembly connectors are connected.)

        Reference Waveform

        Item Condition
        Tester connection G128-13 (GSW) - Body ground
        Tool setting 5.0 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV.
        Vehicle condition Power switch on (IG)

        OK

        The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. REPLACE DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) 
    1. Replace the DCM (telematics transceiver).

      Refer to REMOVAL [10/2019 - 08/2020] , or refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 09/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]

      NOTE:
      • The power switch must be off.
      • Do not exchange the DCM (telematics transceiver) with one from another vehicle.

      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    PERFORM DCM ACTIVATION. Refer to  DCM ACTIVATION [10/2019 - ] 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the G128 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
    2. Disconnect the G64 airbag ECU assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G128-13 (GSW) - G64-23 (GSW3) Always Below 1 Ω
      G128-13 (GSW) or G64-23 (GSW3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2020]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [08/2020 - 08/2021]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [08/2021 - 09/2022]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]
