Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 10 seconds.
    6. Check the DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      OK: DTC B1797 is not output. 

      HINT:

      Codes other than B1797 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

    OK: PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 

    NG: Go to Next Step 

  2. READ VALUE OF DATA LIST (SPECIFIED CONDITION FOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Using the intelligent tester, read the DATA LIST (See DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST  ).

      Result Proceed to
      All items correspond to the range of specified condition for zero point calibration. A
      THERMISTOR TEMP does not correspond to the range of specified condition for zero point calibration. B

    B: Go to step  6

    A: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK DTC 

    HINT:

    Check that the zero point calibration is completed normally. If any of the following condition is met, DTC B1797 will be output (Refer to INITIALIZATION  ).

    • Zero point calibration is performed when the calibration conditions are not satisfied.
    • Zero point calibration has failed.
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    6. Check the DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      OK: DTC B1797 is not output. 

  4. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point calibration (See INITIALIZATION  ).
    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    6. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      HINT:

      If the DTCs are not cleared at this time, past DTCs will remain.

  5. CHECK DTC 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    6. Check the DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      OK: DTC B1797 is not output. 

      HINT:

      Codes other than B1797 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

  6. REPLACE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (FRONT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
    3. Replace the front seat cushion assembly (with occupant classification ECU and occupant classification sensor) (See REMOVAL  ).
    4. Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    6. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    7. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
    8. Turn the engine switch off.
    9. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    10. Using the intelligent tester, check the DTCs of the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      OK: DTC is not output. 

  7. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point calibration (See INITIALIZATION  ).
    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    6. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      HINT:

      If the DTCs are not cleared at this time, past DTCs will remain.

  8. CHECK DTC 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. Clear the DTCs stored in the occupant classification ECU (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    3. Clear the DTCs stored in the center airbag sensor assembly (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
