The side collision sensor RH circuit (bus 2) consists of the airbag ECU assembly and side No. 1 airbag sensor RH.

The side No. 1 airbag sensor RH detects impacts to the vehicle and sends 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 side collision sensor RH circuit (bus 2).
