Toyota 4Runner: Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Communication Circuit Malfunction (B1790)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Supplemental Restraint Systems / Occupant Classification System / Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Communication Circuit Malfunction (B1790)

DESCRIPTION

The center airbag sensor communication circuit consists of the occupant classification ECU and center airbag sensor.

DTC B1790 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the center airbag sensor communication circuit.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B1790	One of the following conditions is met: Occupant classification ECU detects a line short circuit signal, open circuit signal, short circuit to ground signal or short circuit to +B signal in the center airbag sensor communication circuit for 2 seconds. Center airbag sensor malfunction. Occupant classification ECU malfunction.	Floor wire Front seat wire RH Occupant classification ECU Center airbag sensor

HINT:

When DTC B1630/32 is stored as a result of troubleshooting the airbag system, perform troubleshooting for DTC B1790 of the occupant classification system.
Use the Techstream to check for DTCs of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTCs cannot be read.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front RH seat installation bolts to see the undersurface of the seat cushion.
In the above case, hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Holding the seat for a long period of time may cause problems, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat up only for as long as necessary.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(b) Clear the DTCs stored in memory (See page
).

HINT:

First clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU, and then clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor.
Use the Techstream to clear the DTCs of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTCs cannot be cleared.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Using the Techstream, check for DTCs of the occupant classification ECU (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1790 is not output.

HINT:

DTCs other than DTC B1790 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

2.	CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

OK:

Connectors are properly connected.

CONNECT CONNECTOR

3.	CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor and occupant classification ECU.

(b) Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor side and occupant classification ECU side) are not damaged (See page ).

OK:

Connectors are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

4.	CHECK OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CIRCUIT

(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
a9-8 (FSR+) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V
a9-4 (FSR-) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Below 1 V

(d) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(e) Using a service wire, connect terminals 16 (FSR+) and 24 (FSR-) of connector B.

NOTICE:

Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
a9-8 (FSR+) - a9-4 (FSR-)	Always	Below 1 Ω

(g) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
a9-8 (FSR+) - a9-4 (FSR-)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
a9-8 (FSR+) - Body ground
a9-4 (FSR-) - Body ground

5.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and center airbag sensor.

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(d) Clear the DTCs stored in memory (See page
).

HINT:

First clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU, and then clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor.
Use the Techstream to clear the DTCs of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTCs cannot be cleared.

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.

(f) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(g) Using the Techstream, check for DTCs of the occupant classification ECU (See page ).

OK:

DTC B1790 is not output.

HINT:

DTCs other than DTC B1790 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

6.	REPLACE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

HINT:

Perform the inspection using parts from a normal vehicle when possible.

7.	PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

OK:

"Zero Point Calibration is complete." is displayed.

8.	PERFORM SENSITIVITY CHECK

(a) Using the Techstream, perform the sensitivity check (See page ).

Standard range:

27 to 33 kg (59.5 to 72.8 lb)
