B1B7F-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 2 - RIGHT FRONT INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:

While the CAN bus ignition status is in IGN_RUN, the module checks the sensor input ranges.

- Set Condition:

If the module detects that the sensor input is greater than 96 ± 0.6% of the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor 5 Volt circuit voltage. Note that this DTC will remain active after the condition that set this fault is no longer present. Performing the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test will change the status from active to stored if the condition that set the fault is no longer present.





Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS, AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM)

NOTE: Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition on, then off, and then on again.

With the scan tool, read Occupant Classification Module (OCM) DTC.

Does the scan tool display any active DTC relating to internal faults, ignition faults, or battery faults?

Yes

- Diagnose and repair the DTC.

No

- Go To 2

2. VERIFY OCM

NOTE: Failure to follow the test instructions or aborting the test will cause faults to set when performing the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. To prevent faults due to process errors: verify that all tests steps that led you here were performed as directed; verify that the ignition is in run; Wait 30 seconds after changing the seat weight before proceeding to allow the system to stabilize; only press scan tool buttons when directed to do so; and perform the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test to completion.

With the scan tool in OCM, select More Options, select System Tests, and select Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. Run the test by following the instructions displayed on the scan tool. When the test is complete, wait two minutes, and then proceed as follows.

With the scan tool, read OCM DTC.

Does the scan tool display active: B1B7F-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 2 - RIGHT FRONT INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 9

3. VERIFY SENSOR TORQUE

Verify that all of the Seat Weight Sensor mounting screws are tightened to specification.

NOTE: Failure to follow the test instructions or aborting the test will cause faults to set when performing the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. To prevent faults due to process errors: verify that all tests steps that led you here were performed as directed; verify that the ignition is in run; Wait 30 seconds after changing the seat weight before proceeding to allow the system to stabilize; only press scan tool buttons when directed to do so; and perform the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test to completion.

With the scan tool in OCM, select More Options, select System Tests, and select Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. Run the test by following the instructions displayed on the scan tool. When the test is complete, wait two minutes, and then proceed as follows.

With the scan tool, read OCM DTC.

Does the scan tool display active: B1B7F-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 2 - RIGHT FRONT INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes

- Go To 4

No

- Go To 9

4. INSPECT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

Using the wiring diagram / schematic as a guide, inspect the Passenger Seat Harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.

Are any of these conditions present?

Yes

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
- Perform *OCM SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

No

- Go To 5

5. VERIFY THAT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY

Verify that the Passenger Seat Harness is routed correctly.

Is the Passenger Seat Harness routed correctly?

Yes

- Go To 6

No

- Reroute the Passenger Seat Harness as necessary.
- Perform *OCM SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

6. CHECK (R718) RT-FT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE





Disconnect the OCM C2 connector.

Measure the voltage of the (R718) RT-FT Seat Weight Sensor Signal circuit.

Is the voltage above 0.2 volt?

Yes

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
- Perform *OCM SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

No

- Go To 7

7. CHECK (R718) RT-FT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (R701) SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 5 VOLT CIRCUIT





Disconnect the Right-Front Seat Weight Sensor connector.

Measure the resistance between the (R718) RT-FT Seat Weight Sensor Signal circuit and the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor 5 Volt circuit.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
- Perform *OCM SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

No

- Go To 8

8. CHECK (R728) SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN





Measure the resistance of the (R728) Seat Weight Sensor Ground circuit between the OCM C2 connector and the Right-Front Seat Weight Sensor connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the OCM.
- Perform *OCM SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

No

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
- Perform *OCM SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

9. CHECKING STORED OR INTERMITTENT CODES

NOTE: Diagnose and repair all active codes before diagnosing stored codes.

With the scan tool, record and erase all Airbag System Module DTC.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring and connectors for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires, and for broken, bent, pushed out, corroded, and contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.

Reconnect all disconnected components and harness connectors.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.

With the scan tool, monitor for active codes while performing the following:
- Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit.
- Continue the test until either a code becomes active or the problem area is isolated.

In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting the DTC in question / causing the intermittent condition.

Are any ACTIVE DTC present?

Yes

- Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure.

No

- No problem found at this time. Perform the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test
