B1773





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (for Bench Seat Type): B1773,B1776: Belt Tension Sensor Circuit Malfunction
B1776 - Seat Belt Tension Sensor Power Source Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The belt tension sensor circuit consists of the occupant classification ECU and the belt tension sensor.

The belt tension sensor sends the belt tension signal to the occupant classification ECU to control the occupant classification system.

DTCs B1773 and B1776 are recorded when a malfunction is detected in the belt tension sensor circuit.





HINT
- When DTC B1650/32 is detected as a result of troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system, check the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU, and perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
- Use the Techstream to check for DTCs of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTC cannot be read.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the 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 tip over. Holding the seat up for a long period of time may cause problems, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat up only for as long as necessary.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC

(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(b) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Occupant Classification System (for Bench Seat Type).

HINT
First clear DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU and then in the center airbag sensor assembly.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(e) Check the DTCs Occupant Classification System (for Bench Seat Type).

OK:

DTC B1773 and B1776 are not output.

HINT
DTCs other than B1773 and B1776 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 CONNECTORS

(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) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the occupant classification ECU and the belt tension sensor.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the occupant classification ECU and the belt tension sensor.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

HINT
If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (TO B+)

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the occupant classification ECU and belt tension sensor.





(b) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(d) Measure the voltage.

Standard voltage:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (FOR OPEN)

(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) Using a service wire, connect S29-1 (BT) and S29-3 (GBT), and connect S29-2 (VBT) and S29-3 (GBT) of connector C.

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

(d) Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (TO GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the service wire from connector C.





(b) Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (FOR SHORT)





(a) Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK DTC

(a) Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and the belt tension sensor.

(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 Occupant Classification System (for Bench Seat Type).

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 Occupant Classification System (for Bench Seat Type).

OK:

DTCs B1773 and B1776 are not output.

HINT
DTCs other than B1773 and B1776 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 BELT TENSION SENSOR (FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH)

(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 belt tension sensor Removal.

HINT
Perform the inspection using parts from a normal vehicle if possible.

(d) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.

(e) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(f) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Occupant Classification System (for Bench Seat Type).

HINT
First clear DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU and then in the center airbag sensor assembly.

(g) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

(h) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(i) Check the DTCs Occupant Classification System (for Bench Seat Type).

OK:

DTCs B1773 and B1776 are not output.

HINT
DTCs other than B1773 and B1776 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

OK -- END
NG -- Continue to next step.

9. REPLACE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
