INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see the under surface of the seat cushion.
- In the above case, hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Holding the seat for a long period of time may cause a problem, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat only as necessary.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC

(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Check the DTCs .
OK:
DTC B1790 is not output.
HINT: Codes other than DTC B1790 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

OK -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK
NG -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS

Using a service wire, connect A22-1 (FSR+) and A22-2 (FSR-) of connector "B".
NOTE: Do not forcibly insert a service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
(d) w/o Side airbag:
Using a service wire, connect A22-3 (FSR+) and A22-10 (FSR-) of connector "B".
NOTE: Do not forcibly insert a service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH (OPEN)
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. CHECK OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU CIRCUIT (SHORT)





(a) Disconnect the service wire from connector "B".
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH (SHORT)
OK -- Continue to next step.
6. CHECK OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU CIRCUIT (SHORT TO GROUND)





(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH (SHORT TO GROUND)
OK -- Continue to next step.
7. CHECK DTC
(a) Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and the center airbag sensor assembly.
(b) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(d) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory .
HINT: First clear DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU and then in the center airbag sensor assembly.
(e) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
(f) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(g) Check the DTCs .
OK:
DTC B1790 is not output.
HINT: Codes other than DTC B1790 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

OK -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK
NG -- Continue to next step.
8. REPLACE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU
(a) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
(c) Replace the occupant classification ECU .
HINT: Perform the inspection using parts from a normal vehicle if possible.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.
9. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
(a) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
