Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Scion xB. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK FOR DTC
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 10 seconds.
- Check for the DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR
).
OK:
DTC B1797 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than DTC B1797 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
NG: Go to step 2
OK : USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM )
- READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER OR TECHSTREAM (SPECIFIED CONDITION FOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION)
- Connect an intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Using the intelligent tester or Techstream, read the "DATA LIST" or "Data List" (see DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
).
- Intelligent tester

- Intelligent tester
B: Go to step 5
A: Go to next step
- PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
- Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Using the intelligent tester or Techstream, perform zero point calibration (see INITIALIZATION ).
- CHECK FOR DTC
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Check for the DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR
).
OK:
DTC B1797 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than DTC B1797 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
NG: Go to step 5
OK : END
- PERFORM REGISTRATION BEFORE ECU EXCHANGE
- Connect an intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Using the intelligent tester or Techstream, save the ECU data from the ECU which was installed on the vehicle (see REGISTRATION ).
- REPLACE FRONT SEAT CUSHION (OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR)
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Replace the front seat cushion (with occupant classification ECU and occupant detection sensor) (see REMOVAL ).
- Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- PERFORM REGISTRATION AFTER ECU EXCHANGE
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Using an intelligent tester or Techstream, load the previous ECU data stored in the tester into the new ECU (see REGISTRATION ).
- PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
- Using an intelligent tester or Techstream, perform zero point calibration (see INITIALIZATION ).
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR
).
HINT:
If the DTCs are not cleared at this time, past DTCs will remain.
- PERFORM SENSITIVITY CHECK
- Perform the sensitivity check (see INITIALIZATION ).
