DTC B1797: Calibration Malfunction: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    4. Turn the ignition switch off.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 10 seconds.
    6. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      OK

      DTC B1797 is not output.

      HINT: 

      Codes other than B1797 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   10 

  2. READ VALUE USING DATA LIST (SPECIFIED CONDITION FOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Using the Techstream, read the Data List. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      All items correspond to the range of specified condition for zero point calibration. A
      THERMISTOR TEMP does not correspond to the range of specified condition for zero point calibration. B

    B → See step   6 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK FOR DTC 

    HINT: 

    Check that the zero point calibration is completed normally. If any of the following conditions is met, DTC B1797 will be output (Refer to Initialization: Refer to INITIALIZATION ).

    • Zero point calibration is performed when the calibration conditions are not satisfied.
    • Zero point calibration has failed.
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    4. Turn the ignition switch off.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    6. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      OK

      DTC B1797 is not output.

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  4. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Using the Techstream, perform the zero point calibration. Refer to INITIALIZATION .
    4. Turn the ignition switch off.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    6. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      HINT: 

      If the DTCs are not cleared at this time, past DTCs will remain.

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    4. Turn the ignition switch off.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    6. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      OK

      DTC B1797 is not output.

      HINT: 

      Codes other than B1797 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

    NEXT → END 

  6. REPLACE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (FRONT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
