Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Rear Occupant Classification Sensor LH Collision Detection (B1787)

DESCRIPTION

DTC B1787 is stored when the occupant detection ECU receives a collision detection signal sent by the rear occupant classification sensor LH in the case of an accident.

DTC B1787 is also stored when the front seat assembly RH is subjected to a strong impact, even if an actual accident did not occur.

If the vehicle was not in a collision, but the occupant detection ECU receives a collision detection signal and stores DTC B1787, the DTC can be cleared by performing zero point calibration. Therefore, if DTC B1787 is output, first perform zero point calibration.

• *: The rear occupant classification sensor LH is built into the separate type front seat cushion spring assembly RH.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

• When this DTC is stored, repair of the malfunction indicated can only be performed by initializing the occupant detection ECU or replacing the separate type front seat cushion spring assembly RH. Do not replace the occupant detection ECU to repair the malfunction indicated by this DTC.
