DESCRIPTION
The front airbag sensor LH consists of the diagnostic circuit and the frontal deceleration sensor.
If the center airbag sensor receives signals from the frontal deceleration sensor, it determines whether or
not the SRS should be activated.
DTC B1607/84, B1608/84, B1617/84 or B1618/84 is recorded when a malfunction is detected in the front
airbag sensor LH circuit.
