DTC B1620/21: Side Airbag Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction: Procedure

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor RH and rear airbag sensor RH.

   OK

   The connectors are properly connected.

   HINT: 

   If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

4. Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor RH and rear airbag sensor RH.
5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

   OK

   The terminals are not deformed or damaged.
