WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. ZERO POINT CALIBRATION AND SENSITIVITY CHECK 
    NOTE: Make sure that the seat is not occupied before performing the operation.

    HINT:

    Perform zero point calibration and sensitivity check if any of the following conditions occur:

    • The occupant classification ECU is replaced.
    • Accessories (seatback tray and seat cover, etc.) are installed.
    • The passenger seat is removed from the vehicle.
    • The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator light ("OFF)" comes on when the front passenger seat is not occupied.
    • The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair due to and accident or a collision.
    1. Zero point calibration and sensitivity check procedures.

      HINT

      Make sure that zero point calibration has finished normally, and then perform sensitivity check.

      1. Adjust the seat position according to the table below.
        SEAT BELT ADJUSTING REFERENCE

        Adjustment Component Position
        Slide Direction Rearmost position
        Reclining Angle Upright position
        Headrest Height Lowest position
        Lifter Height Lowest Position
      2. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
      4. Perform zero point calibration by following the prompts on the tester screen.

        HINT:

        Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.

        OK: "COMPLETE" is displayed. 

      5. Place a 30 kg (66.14 lb) weight (eg. a 30 kg (66.14 lb) of lead mass) onto the passenger seat.
      6. Perform the sensitivity check, and confirm that the sensitivity is within the standard value.

        Standard value: 27 to 33 kg (59.52 to 72.75 lb) 

    HINT:

    • When performing the sensitivity check, use a solid metal weight (the check result may not appear properly if the weight made from liquid is used).
    • When the sensitivity deviates from the standard value, retighten the bolts of the passenger seat taking care not to deform the seat rail. After performing this procedure, if the sensitivity is not within the standard value, replace the front RH seat assy.
    • When zero point calibration has not finished normally, replace the front RH seat assy.
