Weight Sensor (Part 1):

Weight Sensor (Part 2):

CAUTION: If DTC B1B7A, B1B7F, B1B84 or B1B89 is set in the occupant classification-ECU, always diagnose the CAN main bus lines.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The load data from the weight sensor is classified with the occupant classification-ECU, and its classified information is send to SRS-ECU by CAN bus line. The SRS-ECU determines the air bag deployment based on this classified information, and controls the power supply circuit to the inflator.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
- This DTC is set if the weight sensor wires are short-circuited to the power supply.
- This DTC is set if the weight sensor wire are open circuit

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
- Short to the power supply in the weight sensor harness
- Open circuit in the weight sensor harness
- Malfunction of the weight sensor
- Malfunction of occupant classification-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.







CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

1. Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the scan tool." How To Connect The Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III)
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Diagnose the CAN bus line.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES: Go to Step 2.

NO: Repair the CAN bus line.

STEP 2. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

Check again if the DTC is set.
1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the DTCs set?

YES: Go to Step 3.

NO: There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit.

STEP 3. Measure the voltage at occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1.

1. Disconnect the connector D-39-1.
2. Disconnect weight sensor connector D-39-3, D-39-4, D-39-5 or D-39-6.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.







4. Measure the voltage between terminals 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and body ground.
Voltage should measure 1 volt or less.

Q: Is the measured voltage with in the specified range?

YES: Go to Step 4.

NO: Repair the wiring harness between occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 terminals 3, 5, 9, 7 and weight sensor connector D-39-3, 4, 5, 6 terminals 3 (signal line) or occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 terminals 1 and weight sensor connector D-39-3 terminals 2 (power supply line). Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the harness open circuit between occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 and weight sensor connector D-39-3, D-39-4, D-39-5 or D-39-6.













1. Disconnect occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 and weight sensor connector D-39-3, D-39-4, D-39-5 or D-39-6.
2. Check for continuity between the following terminals. It should be less than 2 ohms.
- Occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 (terminal No.3) and the weight sensor connector D-39-3 (terminal No.3)
- Occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 (terminal No.5) and the weight sensor connector D-39-4 (terminal No.3)
- Occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 (terminal No.7) and the weight sensor connector D-39-6 (terminal No.3)
- Occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 (terminal No.9) and the weight sensor connector D-39-5 (terminal No.3)
- Occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 (terminal No.1) and the weight sensor connector D-39-3, D-39-4, D-39-5 and D-39-6 (terminal No.2)
- Occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 (terminal No.12) and weight sensor connector D-39-3, D-39-4, D-39-5 and D-39-6 (terminal No.1)

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES: Go to Step 5.

NO: Repair the harness wires between occupant classification-ECU connector D-39-1 and weight sensor connector D-39-3, D-39-4, D-39-5 and D-39-6. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

Check again if the DTC is set.
1. Erase the DTC.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is DTCs B1B7A, B1B7F, B1B84, B1B89 set?

YES: Replace the slide adjuster (RH).

NO: There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged connector(s) or open circuit.
