DTC B1141/33 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly LH Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The side airbag sensor LH circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly and side airbag sensor LH.

If the center airbag sensor assembly receives signals from the side airbag sensor LH, it judges whether or not the SRS should be activated.

DTC B1141/33 is recorded when a malfunction in the side airbag sensor LH circuit is detected.

DTC No.
