DTC

B1780

Front Occupant Classification Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The front occupant classification sensor LH circuit consists of the occupant detection ECU and front occupant classification sensor LH.

DTC B1780 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the front occupant classification sensor LH circuit.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B1780	Front Occupant Classification Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction	The occupant detection ECU detects a line short, short to ground or B+, or an open in the front occupant classification sensor LH circuit. Front occupant classification sensor LH malfunction Occupant detection ECU malfunction	Front seat wire RH Front seat adjuster assembly RH (Front occupant classification sensor LH)* Occupant detection ECU

*: The front occupant classification sensor LH is built into the front seat adjuster assembly RH.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

HINT:

When DTC B1650 is stored as a result of troubleshooting for the airbag system, check the DTCs stored in the occupant detection ECU. When DTC B1780 is output, perform troubleshooting for this DTC first.
If it is difficult to perform troubleshooting (wire harness inspection), remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see under the seat cushion.
In the above case, lift and hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Hold the seat only as necessary because holding the seat for a long period of time may cause seat rail deformation.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the occupant detection ECU and front occupant classification sensor LH.

Connectors are not properly connected

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

Connectors are properly connected

2.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the occupant detection ECU and front occupant classification sensor LH.

(b) Check that the connectors (on the occupant detection ECU side and front occupant classification sensor LH side) are not damaged.

Connectors are deformed or damaged

REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH

Connectors are not deformed or damaged

3.	CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH

(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

*2	Occupant Detection ECU
*3	Front Seat Wire RH
*4	Service Wire
*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Occupant Detection ECU)
*b	Front view of wire harness connector (to Front Occupant Classification Sensor LH)

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
S22-1 - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
S22-3 - Body ground
S22-5 - Body ground

(d) Turn the ignition switch off.

(e) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(f) Using service wires, connect terminals 1 (SVC) and 3 (SGD), and terminals 2 (SIG) and 3 (SGD) of connector C.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting a service wire.

(g) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
S22-1 - S22-5	Always	Below 1 Ω
S22-3 - S22-5	Always	Below 1 Ω

(h) Disconnect the service wire from connector C.

(i) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
S22-1 - S22-5	Always	1 MΩ or higher
S22-3 - S22-5
S22-1 - S22-3
S22-1 - Body ground
S22-3 - Body ground
S22-5 - Body ground

REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH

CHECK DTC

(a) Connect the connectors to the occupant detection ECU and front occupant classification sensor LH.

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant detection ECU.
