DTC B1774: Pressure Sensor Circuit 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:
B1774
| • | 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
.
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 wiring harness connector |
| • | The SDM wiring harness connector |
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the PPS module and the appropriate sensor.
- 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. |
- 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. |
- 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. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the pressure sensor.
- 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. |
