DTC B1771: Passenger Side Buckle Switch Circuit Malfunction: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK CONNECTORS 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the occupant classification ECU and the front seat inner belt assembly RH.

      OK

      The connectors are properly connected.

      HINT: 

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

    4. Disconnect the connectors from the occupant classification ECU and the front seat inner belt assembly RH.
    5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

      OK

      The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

    NG → REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH (SHORT TO B+) 
    1. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

    3. Using SST, connect terminals 2 (RBE+) and 1 (RBE-) of connector C.
      NOTE:

      Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting the wire.

      • SST: 09843-18040 
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R2-13 (BSW) - R2-14 (BGND) Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH (SHORT TO GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect SST wire from connector C.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R2-13 (BSW) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      R2-14 (BGND) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

    NG → REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH (SHORT) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      R2-13 (BSW) - R2-14 (BGND) Always 1 MΩ or higher

    NG → REPLACE FRONT SEAT WIRE RH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and the front seat inner belt assembly RH.
    2. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    5. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    6. Turn the ignition switch off.
    7. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    8. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      OK
