WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

Make sure the driver's seat is all the way forward position.
Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
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 ).
2010-11 models: From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then PARAMETER INFORMATION. In the PARAMETER INFORMATION Menu, select Buckle Switch, Seat Position Sensor.
2012 model: From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then Data List.
Using two pieces of tape (A), make alignment marks (B) on the the seat's outer cover (C) and the front door sill trim (D) as shown. The driver's seat position sensor should read NEAR.

Move the seat back in small increments (about 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 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.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
