DTC B1782: Rear Occupant Classification Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK DTC
1. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory. Refer toDTC CHECK / CLEAR .
  HINT:
  
  First clear DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU and then in the center airbag sensor assembly.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
5. Check the DTCs. Refer toDTC CHECK / CLEAR .
  OK
  
  DTC B1782 is not output.
  
  HINT:
  
  Codes other than DTC B1782 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
OK → See step 15

NG: Go to next step
CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS
1. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the occupant classification ECU and the rear occupant classification sensor LH.
  OK
  
  The connectors are properly connected.
NG → CONNECT CONNECTORS

OK: Go to next step

CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (TO B+)

Disconnect the connectors from the occupant classification ECU and the rear occupant classification sensor LH.

Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

Measure the voltage.

Standard voltage

Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
Q5-3 (SGD3) - Body ground	Ignition switch on	Below 1 V
Q5-5 (SVC3) - Body ground	Ignition switch on	Below 1 V
Q5-9 (SIG3) - Body ground	Ignition switch on	Below 1 V

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE

OK: Go to next step

CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (FOR OPEN)

Turn the ignition switch to the lock position.

Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
Using a service wire, connect Q2-1 (SVC3) and Q2-3 (SGD3), and connect Q2-2 (SIG3) and Q2-3 (SGD3) of connector C.
NOTE:
Do not forcibly insert a service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting.

Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance

Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
Q5-5 (SVC3) - Q5-3 (SGD3)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Q5-9 (SIG3) - Q5-3 (SGD3)	Always	Below 1 Ω

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE

OK: Go to next step

CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (FOR SHORT)

Disconnect the service wire from connector C.

Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance

Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
Q5-5 (SVC3) - Q5-3 (SGD3)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
Q5-9 (SIG3) - Q5-3 (SGD3)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
Q5-5 (SVC3) - Q5-9 (SIG3)	Always	1 MΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE

OK: Go to next step

CHECK NO. 1 SEAT WIRE (TO GROUND)

Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance

Tester connection	Condition	Specified condition
Q5-3 (SGD3) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
Q5-5 (SVC3) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
Q5-9 (SIG3) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE NO. 1 SEAT WIRE

OK: Go to next step

CHECK DTC
1. Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and the rear occupant classification sensor LH.
2. Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
4. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory. Refer toDTC CHECK / CLEAR .
  HINT:
  
  First clear DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU and then in the center airbag sensor assembly.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
7. Check the DTCs. Refer toDTC CHECK / CLEAR .
  OK
  
  DTC B1782 is not output.
  
  HINT:
  
  Codes other than DTC B1782 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
OK → See step 15

NG: Go to next step
REPLACE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU
1. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Replace the occupant classification ECU. Refer toREMOVAL .
  HINT:
  
  Perform the inspection using parts from a normal vehicle if possible.
NEXT: Go to next step
PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
1. Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
