Airbag Warning Lamp Circuit Failure

Understand B1616, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

SRS module cannot verify airbag warning lamp operation — bulb or circuit fault.

Sintomi comuni

  • No airbag light at key-on (illegal in many regions)
  • Stored B-code

Cause tipiche

  • Burned out airbag warning bulb
  • Cluster fault
  • Wiring to warning lamp

Di quale scanner hai bisogno?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Usa dati live e freeze frame prima di sostituire componenti. I codici ABS, SRS e U richiedono di solito uno scanner full-system.

Consigli diagnostici

  • Registra il freeze frame quando compare il codice
  • Cancella il codice solo dopo aver risolto la causa
  • Controlla codici pending correlati
  • Verifica che la batteria sia sopra 12,4 V prima di sospettare i sensori
