Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Lost Communication with Front Door Pressure Sensor RH (B166D,B166E)

DESCRIPTION

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

The side airbag pressure sensor RH and side No. 2 airbag sensor 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 side collision sensor RH circuit (bus 1).

PROCEDURE

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the side airbag pressure sensor RH and side No. 2 airbag sensor RH. Also check that the connectors that link the floor wire and front door wire RH are properly connected.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

NG

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

OK

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the side airbag pressure sensor RH and side No. 2 airbag sensor RH. Also disconnect the connectors that link the floor wire and front door wire RH.

(b) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

NG

REPLACE FLOOR WIRE OR FRONT DOOR WIRE RH

OK

(a) Connect the connectors that link the floor wire and front door wire RH.

*1 Side Airbag Pressure Sensor RH *2 Side No. 2 Airbag Sensor RH *3 Front Door Wire RH *4 Floor Wire *5 Service Wire *a Front view of wire harness connector (to Side No. 2 Airbag Sensor RH) *b Front view of wire harness connector (to Side Airbag Pressure Sensor RH)

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

Standard Voltage:

(e) Turn the engine switch off.

(f) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(g) Using a service wire, connect terminals 2 (BDR+) and 1 (BDR-) of connector E.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

(h) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

(i) Disconnect the service wire from connector E.

(j) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

NG

GO TO STEP 5

OK

(a) Connect the connector to the side No. 2 airbag sensor RH.

*1 Side Airbag Pressure Sensor LH *2 Side No. 2 Airbag Sensor RH

(b) Interchange the side airbag pressure sensor RH with LH and connect the connectors.

(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

(f) Turn the engine switch off.

(g) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs.

HINT:

Codes other than DTCs B166D, B166E, B167B and B167C may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the engine switch off.

(j) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(k) Return the side airbag pressure sensor RH and LH to their original positions and connect the connectors.

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

(a) Disconnect the floor wire connector from the front door wire RH.

*1 Side Airbag Pressure Sensor RH *2 Side No. 2 Airbag Sensor RH *3 Front Door Wire RH *4 Floor Wire *5 Service Wire *a Front view of wire harness connector (to Side No. 2 Airbag Sensor RH) *b Front view of wire harness connector (to Front Door Wire RH)

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

Standard Voltage:

(e) Turn the engine switch off.

(f) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(g) Using a service wire, connect terminals 1 (BDR+) and 2 (BDR-) of connector B.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

(h) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

(i) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

(j) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
