Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation Check

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

1. Make sure the driver's seat is at its full forward position.
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. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then PARAMETER INFORMATION. In the PARAMETER INFORMATION Menu, select Buckle Switch, Seat Position Sensor.
7. Using two pieces of tape (A), make alignment marks (B) on the recline cover (C) and the seat slide assembly (D) as shown. The driver's seat position sensor should read NEAR.

8. Move the seat-back in small increments 5 mm (0.2 in) until the driver's seat position sensor reads NOT NEAR. 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 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), then wait for 10 seconds.
10. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
