8. Move the seat back in small increments (about 0 2 in, 5 mm) until the driver's seat position sensor reads NOT NEAR The seat should be about 1 in (25 mm) from the front
   NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the HDS to display changes, so wait for about 5 seconds between each move

   If the driver's seat position sensor data does not work as described above, check the driver's seat position sensor or the cover plate for damage, and replace parts as needed

9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and disconnect the HDS from the DLC
