DESCRIPTION

The side collision sensor LH circuit consists of the airbag ECU assembly and side airbag pressure sensor LH.

The side airbag pressure sensor LH detects impacts to the vehicle and send signals to the airbag ECU assembly to determine if the SRS should be deployed.

These DTCs are stored when a malfunction is detected in the circuit for the side collision sensor LH circuit.

DTC No.
