B1773








SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM: B1773: Belt Tension Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC B1773 - Belt Tension Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC B1776 - Seat Belt Tension Sensor Power Source Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The seat belt tension sensor circuit consists of the occupant classification ECU and the seat belt tension sensor.
The seat belt tension sensor sends the seat belt tension signal to the occupant classification ECU.
DTC B1773 and B1776 are stored when a malfunction is detected in the seat belt tension sensor circuit.





HINT: When DTC B1650 is stored as a result of troubleshooting for the "Airbag System", check the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU. When DTC B1773 and B1776 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
