B1410 means the SRSCM stopped receiving data from the passenger front side impact sensor in the center pillar. With this code stored, the module still sees healthy voltage on the line but no acceleration data coming back, so it has power to the sensor and nothing to listen to.
Side impact sensors mount in both center pillars and watch for a broad hit against the side of the vehicle. When one sees a collision it signals the SRSCM, which checks that against its own safing sensor. Both have to agree before a side airbag fires, which is why a silent sensor takes the side restraints on that half of the vehicle out of service.
The detection logic is what separates B1410 from the other passenger side sensor codes. The module sets it when the passenger sensor sends no acceleration data while the line voltage still reads normal, between 3 and 11 volts. At startup the condition has to hold for roughly 2.5 to 3.1 seconds, twice, before the code qualifies. The module is not reporting a dead wire. It is reporting a live wire with nothing on it.
The neighbors on the chart are worth knowing. B1403 is the passenger side sensor reporting itself failed, B1415 is that sensor answering with the wrong identification, which is what a mismatched replacement part produces, and B1409 is this same communication error on the driver side.
Circuit, and the sensor sits at the end of it. Nothing about B1410 says a side airbag deployed. Kia's diagnostic order runs harness and connector inspection first, then substituting a known good sensor, then the SRSCM main harness, then the module. Vehicles that took a side impact are the exception worth flagging: the same hit that fires a curtain or side bag can damage the pillar sensor and its wiring, so this code and a locked crash record often turn up together on a car that is already apart.
No. The module runs the check again every time the key goes on, so a reset with the sensor still silent puts the light straight back. Repair the circuit or replace the sensor first. Once the physical work is done and the module is still holding a deployment record from a collision, our airbag module reset clears the stored crash data from your original SRSCM. When the sensor is the failed part, genuine OEM impact sensors are searchable by year and model, and fitting one from the correct part number matters here because the wrong sensor sets a wrong ID code instead.
B1410 comes from the SRSCM code map Kia and Hyundai share, and Genesis vehicles on the same restraint architecture read it the same way. The wording in the factory chart is side impact sensor front passenger communication error. Kia and Hyundai list the same detection logic and the same three possible causes, which are the sensor circuit, the sensor, and the SRSCM. Other manufacturers use B1410 for their own systems, so confirm the code came out of a Kia or Hyundai module before ordering anything.
Pull the trim and get to the sensor at the base of the passenger center pillar. Check the connector for looseness, bent or pushed out pins, corrosion, and contamination, since the factory procedure treats connector condition as the first suspect and calls out a historical code as almost always a connection problem. Reseat it and clear the code, then key on and see whether the fault comes back as current.
If it returns, check continuity on both sensor lines between the SRSCM connector and the sensor connector. With the wiring good, a known good sensor is the next substitution and the module after that. Read this code alongside B1403 and B1415 for the same sensor, and check whether B1102 for low module voltage is stored too.
