HINT:

  • When DTC B1650 is stored as a result of troubleshooting for the airbag system, check the DTCs stored in the occupant detection ECU. When DTC B1771 is output, perform troubleshooting for this DTC first.
  • If it is difficult to perform troubleshooting (wire harness inspection), remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see under the seat cushion.
  • In the above case, lift and hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Hold the seat only as necessary because holding the seat for a long period of time may cause seat rail deformation.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
