SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM – OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM RS–295

Front Occupant Classification Sensor LH Colli-

DTC B1785
sion Detection
DESCRIPTION
DTC B1785 is output when the occupant classification ECU receives a collision detection signal sent by
the front occupant classification sensor LH when an accident occurs.
DTC B1785 is also output when the front seat assembly RH is subjected to a strong impact, even if an
actual accident does not occur.
However, when the occupant classification ECU outputs a collision detection signal, even if the vehicle is
not in a collision, DTC B1785 can be cleared by performing the zero point calibration and sensitivity
check.
Therefore, when DTC B1785 is output, first perform the zero point calibration and sensitivity check.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1 PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
(c) Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point
calibration (See page RS-246).
OK:
COMPLETED is displayed.
NG Go to step 4

OK

2 PERFORM SENSITIVITY CHECK

(a) Using the intelligent tester, perform the sensitivity check

(See page RS-246).
Standard values:
27 to 33 kg (59.52 to 72.75 lb)
(1) Confirm that nothing is placed on the passenger
seat.
(2) Confirm that the beginning sensor reading is within
the standard range.
Standard range:
-3.2 to 3.2 kg (-7 to 7 lb)
(3) Place a 30 kg (66.14 lb) weight (e.g. a lead mass)
onto the front passenger seat.
(4) Confirm that the sensitivity is within the standard
range.

Standard range:
27 to 33 kg (59.52 to 72.75 lb)
HINT:
When performing the sensitivity check, use a solid
metal weight (the check result may not be accurate
if a liquid weight is used).
NG Go to step 4

OK

3 CHECK DTC

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

(b) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory (See page RS-
254).
HINT:
RS 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 (See page RS-254).
OK:
DTC B1785 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than DTC B1785 may be output at this time,
but they are not related to this check.
OK USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

NG

4 REPLACE FRONT SEAT 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 front seat assembly RH (See page SE-5).
HINT:
Perform the inspection using parts from a normal vehicle
if possible.

5 PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

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

(b) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
(d) Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point
calibration (See page RS-246).
OK:
COMPLETED is displayed.

6 PERFORM SENSITIVITY CHECK

(a) Using the intelligent tester, perform the sensitivity check

(See page RS-246).
(1) Confirm that nothing is placed on the passenger
seat.
(2) Confirm that the beginning sensor reading is within
the standard range.
Standard range:
-3.2 to 3.2 kg (-7 to 7 lb)
(3) Place a 30 kg (66.14 lb) weight (e.g. a lead mass)
onto the front passenger seat.
(4) Confirm that the sensitivity is within the standard
RS
range.
Standard range:
27 to 33 kg (59.52 to 72.75 lb)
HINT:
When performing the sensitivity check, use a solid
metal weight (the check result may not be accurate
if a liquid weight is used).
NG Go to step 8

OK

7 CHECK DTC

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

(b) Clear the DTCs stored in the memory (See page RS-
254).
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 (See page RS-254).
OK:
DTC B1785 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than DTC B1785 may be output at this time,
but they are not related to this check.
