What this code means
B1E77 may indicate the right-side blind spot information alert indicator circuit is not behaving the way the BSI radar unit expects.
What the vehicle may do
- The vehicle may show a blind spot information warning.
- The right-side alert indicator may not operate as expected.
- The concern can be intermittent depending on circuit condition.
Possible fault areas
- Possible right BSI alert indicator concern.
- Possible wiring or connector issue in the indicator circuit.
- Possible ground-side circuit issue.
- Possible right-side BSI radar unit concern after related checks are normal.
Diagnostic path
Code overview and setup
On this Civic, B1E77 points us toward the right-side blind spot information alert indicator circuit. In plain language, the BSI radar unit may be seeing the indicator circuit voltage outside the range it expects when that indicator is commanded on or off. The driver may notice a blind spot alert warning, a missing right-side alert indication, or an intermittent indicator issue. The broad fault areas can include the right BSI alert indicator, the wiring between the indicator and the radar unit, ground, or the right-side BSI radar unit itself. Start with the basic system checks and follow a structured diagnostic approach before getting into the pinpoint testing.
Confirm the code behavior
For the confirmation step, turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then wait for at least 5 seconds. This gives the system time to run the check before you move into circuit testing.
Simulate the right alert indicator circuit
Next, move to the right BSI alert indicator inspection. Disconnect the right BSI alert indicator 2P connector. Then connect terminals No. 1 and No. 2 of that connector together with a jumper wire. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode. There is no direct standalone test for the indicator itself here, so this step uses the related circuit response to sort the direction of the fault. If B1E77 changes into the related indicator-circuit code, treat that as the normal response for this check, and the problem is with the right BSI alert indicator. If it does not change as expected, continue looking at the related components and circuit path.
Check the indicator and ground circuits for opens
If the indicator simulation did not give the normal result, check the BSI_R_IND and ground circuits for an open. Disconnect the right BSI alert indicator 2P connector, and disconnect the right-side BSI radar unit 6P connector. With IG Mode OFF, perform the open-wire inspection according to the connector table. The BSI_R_IND side should measure less than 1 Ω, and the ground side should also measure less than 1 Ω. If either check is abnormal, the problem is in the circuit.
Evaluate the remaining radar unit path
If the earlier inspection items all indicate normal, then the remaining item in this diagnostic path is the right-side BSI radar unit. At that point, the procedure determines the right-side BSI radar unit is the cause. Keep that conclusion tied to the completed checks; do not jump there until the indicator response and the open-wire checks have both been handled in order.
Takeaway
The takeaway for B1E77 is simple: confirm the code behavior, simulate the right alert indicator circuit, check the indicator and ground circuits for opens, and only then evaluate the right-side BSI radar unit if the rest of the path checks normal.

Final check
B1E77 is often approached as an indicator-circuit diagnosis: confirm the monitor behavior, test the indicator circuit response, check the wiring and ground path, then evaluate the radar unit only if 앞
