Operation Check of the Driver's Seat Position Sensor (SPS)

Operation Check of the Driver's Seat Position Sensor (SPS)

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 ignition switch is OFF (0).




2. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then Data List, then All Data List, then SPS.
5. Using a piece of tape, mark a line on the seat's outer cover where the front riser cover meets the seat riser. The SPS should read "NEAR."

NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the HDS to display changes, so wait about 5 seconds between each move.

Move the seat-back in small increments (about 5 mm) until the SPS reads "NOT NEAR." The seat should be approximately 25 mm from the front.

If the SPS data does network as described above, check the driver's seat position sensor or the cover plate for damage, and replace parts as needed.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the HDS from the DLC.

E-Pretensioner Operation Check

1. Shift to the P position and release the parking brake.




2. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
3. Sit in the driver's and front passenger's seat, and fasten the seat belts.
4. Make sure the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (II), then goes off. If the SRS indicator does not come on, check for DTCs with the HDS.

NOTE: If the DTC is indicated, do the indicated DTCs troubleshooting, then go to go to step 5.

5. Start the engine.
6. Select the E-PRETENSIONER with the HDS, and do the E-PRETENSIONER OPERATION CHECK. Make sure the E-pretensioners retract both driver's and front passenger's seat belts several times.
7. Turn the ignition switch OFF and make sure the SRS indicator goes off.
