Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation Check

Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation Check



Check the driver's seat position sensor after any of these actions:

- Driver's seat position sensor replacement

- Cover plate (front side of driver's seat slide rail) replacement

1. Make sure the driver's seat is all the way forward.

2. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

3. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

5. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit. Testing and Inspection

6. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then Parameter Information, then Buckle Switch, Seat Position Sensor.






7. Using two pieces of tape (A), make alignment marks (B) on the upper rail outer cover (C) and the front door sill trim (D) as shown. The driver's seat position sensor should read NEAR.

8. 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 25 mm (1 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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode, and disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
