DESCRIPTION

The airbag sensor assembly communication circuit consists of the occupant detection ECU and airbag sensor assembly.

DTC B1790 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the airbag sensor assembly communication circuit.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1790

  • The occupant detection ECU receives a line short circuit signal, an open circuit signal, a short circuit to ground signal or a short circuit to B+ signal in the airbag sensor assembly communication circuit.

  • Occupant detection ECU malfunction

  • Airbag sensor assembly malfunction

  • No. 2 floor wire

  • Front seat wire RH

  • Occupant detection ECU

  • Airbag sensor assembly

Tech Tips

When DTC B1650/32 is detected as a result of troubleshooting for the airbag system, check the DTCs stored in the occupant detection ECU. When DTC B1790 is output, perform troubleshooting for the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

Tech Tips


  • If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see under the seat cushion.

  • In the above case, lift and hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Hold the seat only as necessary because holding the seat for a long period of time may cause seat rail deformation.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the airbag sensor assembly and occupant detection ECU. Also check that the connectors that link the front seat wire RH and No. 2 floor wire are properly connected.

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

      Tech Tips

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

    4. Disconnect the connectors from the airbag sensor assembly and occupant detection ECU. Also disconnect the connectors that link the front seat wire RH and No. 2 floor wire.

    5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

      OK
      The terminals are not deformed or damaged.
