DTC

B1787

Rear Occupant Classification Sensor LH Collision Detection

DESCRIPTION

DTC B1787 is stored when the occupant detection ECU receives a collision detection signal sent by the rear occupant classification sensor LH in the case of an accident.

DTC B1787 is also stored when the front seat assembly RH is subjected to a strong impact, even if an actual accident did not occur.

If the vehicle was not in a collision, but the occupant detection ECU receives a collision detection signal and stores DTC B1787, the DTC can be cleared by performing zero point calibration. Therefore, if DTC B1787 is output, first perform zero point calibration.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
B1787	Rear Occupant Classification Sensor LH Collision Detection	Rear occupant classification sensor LH sensed large load. Separate type front seat cushion spring assembly RH malfunction	Rear occupant classification sensor LH (Separate type front seat cushion spring assembly RH)*

*: The rear occupant classification sensor LH is built into the separate type front seat cushion spring assembly RH.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When this DTC is stored, repair of the malfunction indicated can only be performed by initializing the occupant detection ECU or replacing the separate type front seat cushion spring assembly RH. Do not replace the occupant detection ECU to repair the malfunction indicated by this DTC.
If the occupant detection ECU is replaced, this DTC will not be output but the occupant detection system may not function properly.
After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

HINT:

When DTC B165A is stored as a result of troubleshooting for the airbag system, check the DTCs stored in the occupant detection ECU. When DTC B1787 is output, perform troubleshooting for this DTC first.

PROCEDURE

1.	PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

(a) Using the Techstream, perform Zero Point Calibration.

OK:

"Zero Point Calibration is complete." is displayed.

GO TO STEP 5

CHECK DTC

(a) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(b) Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant detection ECU.

Body Electrical > Occupant Detection > Clear DTCs

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs

(d) Turn the engine switch off.

(e) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 10 seconds.

(f) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > Occupant Detection > Trouble Codes

OK:

DTC B1787 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTC B1787 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(g) Turn the engine switch off.
