B1790

Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Communication Circuit Malfunction
One of the following conditions is met:
  • Occupant detection ECU detects a line short circuit signal, open circuit signal, short circuit to ground signal or short circuit to +B signal in the airbag ECU assembly communication circuit for 2 seconds.
  • Airbag ECU assembly malfunction.
  • Occupant detection ECU malfunction.
  • Floor wire
  • Front seat wire RH
  • Occupant detection ECU
  • Airbag ECU assembly

HINT:

  • When DTC B1650/32 is stored as a result of troubleshooting the airbag system, perform troubleshooting for DTC B1790 of the occupant classification system.
  • Use the Techstream to check for DTCs of the occupant detection ECU, otherwise the DTCs cannot be read.

HINT:

  • If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front RH seat installation bolts to see the undersurface 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 problems, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat up only for as long as necessary.
