ODS Unit Calibration

ODS Unit Calibration

When you replace the SRS unit, front passenger's weight sensors or ODS unit, calibrate the ODS unit.

While calibrating the ODS unit, observe these precautions:

- Make sure all components of the front passenger's seat are correctly installed.
- Make sure nothing is on or under the front passenger's seat.
- Make sure there is nothing in the front passenger's seat-back pocket.
- Keep the windows closed.
- Do all calibration procedures, except test-driving, in the service bay.
- Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
- Keep the A/C and the heater off.
- Do not touch the front passenger's seat until you are prompted to or when you have completed the calibration.
- Do not expose the front passenger's seat to sudden temperature changes.

1. Position the front passenger's seat to the rearmost position, and adjust the recliner to the forwardmost position. Do not move the seat from this position.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
3. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).






4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
6. Drive the vehicle, and accelerate to 20 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground.
7. From the Main Menu, select SRS, then Calibration, then Misc Test, then select "SWS INITIALIZATION," and follow the prompts until the calibration has been completed.
