DTC B162B: Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No. 2 Lost Communication (RH); DTC B162C: Side Airbag Sensor Assembly No. 2 Initialization Error (RH) [10/2020 - 11/2021]: Description

The side collision sensor RH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly, door side airbag sensor RH, side airbag sensor assembly RH, rear airbag sensor RH and No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly RH.

The door side airbag sensor RH, side airbag sensor assembly RH, rear airbag sensor RH and No. 2 side air bag sensor assembly RH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the airbags and pretensioners should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the No. 2 side collision sensor RH circuit.
