DTC B1775

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors
DTC B1775
- Pressure Sensor Voltage Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The seat belt buckle switch circuit consists of a seat belt buckle switch and the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM monitors the seat belt buckle switch for a buckled/unbuckled state. If the SDM detects a malfunction within the seat belt buckle switch circuit, a DTC will be set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Any of the following conditions exist for 2 seconds:

B1775
* The pressure sensor circuit is shorted.
* The pressure sensor circuit is open.
* Pressure sensor malfunction.
* Occupant classification module malfunction.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.
* The SIR System is disabled and no deployments are allowed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: Refer to SIR Service Precautions (Technician Safety Information).


When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:


* The front end sensor

* The SDM module

* The front end sensor wiring harness connector

* The SDM wiring harness connector


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the PPS module and the appropriate sensor.
2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the following terminals and ground.

* PPS module connector terminal 6.
* PPS module connector terminal 7.
* PPS module connector terminal 15.

If greater than the specified range, repair the circuit for a short to voltage.

3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals and ground.

* PPS module connector terminal 6.
* PPS module connector terminal 7.
* PPS module connector terminal 15.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the circuit for a short to ground.

4. Test for less than 1 ohm between the following signal circuit terminals.

* PPS sensor connector terminal 2 and PPS module connector terminal 6.
* PPS sensor connector terminal 3 and PPS module connector terminal 7.
* PPS sensor connector terminal 1 and PPS module connector terminal 15.

If greater than the specified range, repair the circuit for an open/high resistance.

If greater than the specified range, repair the circuit for an open/high resistance.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the pressure sensor.
6. Reconnect all SIR components. Ignition ON, with a scan tool clear and check for DTCs.

If the DTC returns and is current, replace the occupant classification module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
