Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
DTC B1786 is output when the occupant classification ECU receives a collision detection signal sent by the occupant classification sensor front RH if an accident occurs.
DTC B1786 is also output when the front RH seat 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 B1786 can be cleared by "Zero point calibration" and "Sensitivity check".
Therefore, if DTC B1786 is output, first perform "Zero point calibration" and "Sensitivity check".
HINT:
- When DTC B1650/32 is detected as a result of troubleshooting for the supplemental restraint system, perform troubleshooting for DTC B1786 of the occupant classification system.
- Use the hand-held tester to check the DTC of the occupant classification ECU, otherwise the DTC cannot be read.
