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 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. Move the driver's seat all the way forward.




6. Using a piece of tape (A), mark a line on the seat's outer cover (B) where the front riser cover meets the seat riser (C). The SPS should read "NEAR."
7. Move the seat-back in small increments (about 5 mm) until the driver's seat position sensor reads "NOT NEAR." The seat should be approximately 25 mm from the front.

NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the HDS to display changes, so wait 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.

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