DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no problem symptoms occur. In such a case, a thorough problem analysis must be carried out. A simulation of the same or similar conditions and environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be carried out. No matter how much skill or experience a technician has, troubleshooting without confirming the problem symptoms will lead to important repairs being overlooked and mistakes or delays.
(a) Vibration method: When vibration seems to be the major cause.
HINT:
Perform the simulation method only during the primary check period (the period of approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON).
(1) Slightly vibrate the part of the sensor considered to be the cause of the problem with your fingers and check whether the malfunction occurs.
HINT:
Shaking the relays too strongly may result in open relays.
(2) Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally.
(3) Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are the major areas to be checked thoroughly.
(b) Simulation method for DTC B1795: Turn the ignition switch from off to ON, wait for 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition switch off again 50 times in a row.
HINT:
DTC B1795 is stored if the occupant classification ECU receives the ignition switch off-ON-off signal pattern 50 times in a row when a malfunction occurs in the power circuit for the occupant classification system.
2. FUNCTION OF PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR
(a) Initial check
(1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(2) The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("ON" and "OFF") comes on for approximately 4 seconds, and then goes off for approximately 2 seconds.
(3) Approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator indicates "ON" or "OFF" depending on the conditions listed below.

3. CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) Check that the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("ON" and "OFF") comes on for approximately 4 seconds, and then goes off for approximately 2 seconds.
HINT:
In order to check the operation of the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator when approximately 6 seconds have elapsed after turning the ignition switch to ON, refer to the table in the previous step.
