DTC B1633-81: Rear Airbag Sensor Assembly RH Initialization Incomplete; DTC B1638-82: Rear Airbag Sensor Assembly LH Initialization Incomplete [08/2015 - 08/2019]: Description

The circuit for the side collision sensor LH or RH (to determine deployment of the front seat side airbag LH or RH and curtain shield airbag LH or RH) is composed of the center airbag sensor, side airbag sensor LH or RH and rear airbag sensor LH or RH.

The rear airbag sensor LH or RH detect impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the center airbag sensor to determine if the airbag should be deployed.

DTC B1633 or B1638 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the rear collision sensor LH or RH (to determine deployment of the curtain shield airbag LH or RH).

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B1633-81	One of the following conditions is met: The center airbag sensor detects a line short circuit signal, open circuit signal, short circuit to ground signal or short circuit to B+ signal in the circuit for the rear collision sensor RH (to determine deployment of the curtain shield airbag RH) for 2 seconds. A rear airbag sensor RH malfunction. A side airbag sensor RH malfunction. A center airbag sensor malfunction.
