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. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
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 sensor assembly communication circuit for 2 seconds.

  • Airbag sensor assembly malfunction.

  • Occupant detection ECU malfunction.

  • Floor wire

  • Front seat wire LH*1

  • Front seat wire RH*2

  • Occupant detection ECU

  • Airbag sensor assembly

Tech Tips


  • 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 GTS to check for DTCs of the occupant detection ECU, otherwise the DTCs cannot be read.

Tech Tips


  • 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.
