Occupant Classification Sensor Power Supply Circuit Malfunction (B1793)
The occupant classification sensor power supply circuit consists of the occupant classification ECU and occupant classification sensors.
DTC B1793 is stored when a malfunction is detected in the occupant classification sensor power supply circuit.
DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
B1793 |
One of the following conditions is met:
|
|
HINT:
- When DTC B1650/32 is stored as a result of troubleshooting the airbag system, perform troubleshooting for DTC B1793 of the occupant classification system.
- Use the Techstream to check for DTCs of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTCs cannot be read.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front seat RH installation bolts to see the undersurface of the 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 problems, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat up only for as long as necessary.
CHECK FOR DTC
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
(b) Clear the DTCs stored in memory (See page
).
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.
(c) Turn the ignition switch off.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
(e) Using the Techstream, check for DTCs of the occupant classification ECU (See page
).
OK:
DTC B1793 is not output.
HINT:
DTCs other than DTC B1793 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
| OK | ![]() | USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |
|
CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTOR
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the occupant classification ECU and occupant classification sensors.
OK:
Connectors are properly connected.
| NG | ![]() | CONNECT CONNECTOR |
|
CHECK CONNECTOR
(a) Disconnect the connectors from the occupant classification ECU and 4 occupant classification sensors.
(b) Check that the connectors (on the occupant classification ECU side and occupant classification sensor side) are not damaged (See page
).
OK:
Connectors are not deformed or damaged.

|
CHECK FRONT SEAT WIRE RH
(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
a10-11 (SVC1) - Body ground |
Ignition switch ON |
Below 1 V |
a10-12 (SVC2) - Body ground |
||
a10-5 (SVC3) - Body ground |
||
a10-6 (SVC4) - Body ground |
(c) Turn the ignition switch off.
(d) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
a10-11 (SVC1) - a8-1 (SVC1) |
Always |
Below 1 Ω |
