DTC B1788 OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR
REAR RH COLLISION DETECTION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DTC B1788 is output when the occupant classification ECU receives a collision detection signal sent by the
occupant classification sensor rear RH if an accident occurs.
DTC B1788 is also output when the seat adjuster frame assy is subjected to a strong impact, even if an actual
accident does not occur.
However, when the occupant classification ECU outputs a collision detection signal, even if the vehicle is
not in a collision, DTC B1788 can be cleared by ºZero point calibrationº and ºSensitivity checkº.
Therefore, if DTC B1788 is output, first perform ºZero point calibrationº and ºSensitivity checkº.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area

HINT:
When DTC B1150/23 is detected as a result of troubleshooting for the supplemental restraint system,
perform troubleshooting for DTC B1788 of the classification system.
Use the hand-held tester to check the DTC of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTC
cannot be read.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front RH seat assy instal-
lation bolts to see the under surface of 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 a problem, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat only as necessary.

center memory.
Use the hand-held tester to clear the DTC of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTC can-
not be cleared.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Using the hand-held tester, check the DTCs (see page 05-1215).
