DTC B1650/32: Occupant Classification System Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC (OCCUPANT DETECTION ECU) 
    1. Check for DTCs of the occupant detection ECU. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      OK

      DTC is not output.

    NG → See step   12 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK CONNECTORS 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
      WARNING:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the airbag ECU assembly and occupant detection ECU. Also check that the connectors that link the No. 2 floor wire and front seat wire RH are properly connected.

      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 airbag ECU assembly and occupant detection ECU. Also disconnect the connectors that link the No. 2 floor wire and front seat wire RH.
    5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

      OK

      The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

    NG → REPLACE WIRE HARNESS 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CIRCUIT (OPEN)
