   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.
3. Turn the engine switch off.
4. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.
5. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [06/2012 - ] .

   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.

NG → See step   2 

OK → See step   11 

1. Turn the engine switch off.
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the occupant classification ECU and center airbag sensor.

   OK

   Connectors are properly connected.

NG → CONNECT CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor and occupant classification ECU.
2. Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor side and occupant classification ECU side) are not damaged. Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [06/2012 - ] .

   OK

   Connectors are not deformed or damaged.

NG → REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

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

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

   Standard Voltage

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   a4-8 (FSR+) - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	Below 1 V
   a4-4 (FSR-) - Body ground

3. Turn the engine switch off.
4. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
5. Using a service wire, connect terminals 16 (FSR+) and 24 (FSR-) of connector B.
   NOTE:

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

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

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   a4-8 (FSR+) - a4-4 (FSR-)	Always	Below 1 Ω

7. Disconnect the service wire from connector B.
8. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   a4-8 (FSR+) - a4-4 (FSR-)	Always	1 MΩ or higher
   a4-8 (FSR+) - Body ground
   a4-4 (FSR-) - Body ground

7. Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [06/2012 - ] .

   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.

NG → See step   6 

OK → See step   13 

1. Turn the engine switch off.
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Replace the occupant classification ECU. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2012 - ] .

   HINT: 

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

NEXT: Go to next step 

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