Front Passenger's Weight Sensor Initialization

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

While doing the front passenger's weight sensor initialization, observe these precautions:

• Before initializing the front passenger's weight sensor, make sure the 12 volt battery is fully charged.
• 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 unless you are prompted to or when you have completed the calibration.
• Do not expose the front passenger's seat to sudden temperature changes.
• Always use a known weight as described in the procedure.

1. Slide the front passenger's seat all the way rearward, and adjust the seat-back all the way forward. Do not move the seat from this position until the initialization is completed.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
3. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
5. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
6. Drive the vehicle, and accelerate to 22 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground.
7. From the Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS, then calibration, then select SWS INITIALIZATION, and follow the prompts until the calibration has been completed.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
