Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 LX570)

DTC

B1773

Belt Tension Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC

B1776

Seat Belt Tension Sensor Power Source Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The seat belt tension sensor circuit consists of the occupant classification ECU and the seat belt tension sensor.

The seat belt tension sensor sends the seat belt tension signal to the occupant classification ECU.

DTC B1773 and B1776 are stored when a malfunction is detected in the seat belt tension sensor circuit.

DTC Code

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B1773

B1776

When one of the following conditions is met:

  • The occupant classification ECU receives a line short circuit signal, open circuit signal, short circuit to ground signal or short circuit to B+ signal in the seat belt tension sensor circuit for 2 seconds.
  • A seat belt tension sensor malfunction.
  • An occupant classification ECU malfunction.
  • Front seat wire RH
  • Front seat outer belt assembly RH (seat belt tension sensor)
  • No. 1 seat cushion assembly (occupant classification ECU)

HINT:

When DTC B1650 is stored as a result of troubleshooting for the "Airbag System", check the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU. When DTC B1773 and B1776 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  • If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the passenger seat installation bolts to see the undersurface of the seat cushion.
  • In the above case, hold the seat so that it does not fall down.
