Seat Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation Check

Procedure

Check the driver's seat position sensor operation after the driver's seat position sensor replacement.

1. HDS DLC - Connection





1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.

2. Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation Check





1. Make sure the driver's seat is in the full forward position.

2. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then Data List.

3. Using two pieces of tape (A), make alignment marks (B) on the recline cover (C) and the front door sill trim (D) as shown. The driver's seat position sensor should read NEAR on the HDS.

4. Move the seat back in small increments (about 5 mm, 0.20 in) until the driver's seat position sensor reads NOT NEAR on the HDS. The seat should be about 55 mm (2.17 in) from the front.

NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the HDS to display changes, so wait for about 5 seconds between each movement. If the driver's seat position sensor data does not work as described above, check the driver's seat position sensor for damage, and replace parts as needed.

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
