DTC B15C4: Airbag Signal Malfunction/Not Input [06/2018 - 10/2019]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 350, 2023 Lexus ES 250, and 2022 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC (AIRBAG SYSTEM) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait for 10 seconds.
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Check the DTC of "AIRBAG SYSTEM".

      Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [06/2018 - ]

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are not output A
      DTCs are output B

    Result: 

    GO TO AIRBAG SYSTEM. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [06/2018 - 08/2021] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) (GSW SIGNAL) 
    1. Remove the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) but do not disconnect the connectors.

      Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 10/2019]

      Tool setting 5.0 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV.
      Vehicle condition Engine switch on (IG)

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      8.5 V or higher A
      Below 6.5 V B
      6.5 to 8.5 V C

    Result: 

    See step  4

    Result: 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR OPEN CIRCUIT) 
    1. Remove the airbag sensor assembly but do not disconnect the connectors.

      Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2020]

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G64-23 (GSW3) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 8.5 V or higher

      Reference Waveform

      Item Condition
      Tester connection G64-23 (GSW3) - Body ground
      Tool setting 5.0 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV.
      Vehicle condition Engine switch on (IG)

      *a Component with harness connected
      (Airbag Sensor Assembly)

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE AIRBAG ECU ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2020] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR SHORT CIRCUIT) 
    1. Disconnect the G10 DCM (Telematics Transceiver) connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G10-24 (GSW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      G64-23 (GSW3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  6

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. REPLACE DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) 
    1. Replace the DCM (Telematics Transceiver).

      Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 10/2019]

      NOTE:
      • The engine switch must be off.
      • Do not swap the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) with one from another vehicle.

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    PERFORM DCM ACTIVATION. Refer to  DCM ACTIVATION [06/2018 - 10/2019] 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY)
