Restraints and Safety Systems: Testing and Inspection

INITIALIZATION

1. ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT:
Perform the zero point calibration and sensitivity check under the condition listed below.
- The occupant classification ECU is replaced.
- Accessories (seatback tray and seat cover, etc.) are installed.
- The passenger seat removed from the vehicle.
- Both the SRS warning light and the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator light ("OFF") come on.
- The vehicle is brought to the work shop for repair due to and accident or a collision.

a. Zero point calibration procedure.




1. Adjust the seat position according to the conditions.
2. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Perform the zero point calibration by following the prompts on the tester screen.

HINT: Refer to the hand-held tester Operator's Manual for further details.

2. SENSITIVITY CHECK

a. Sensitivity check procedure.
1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
2. Apply a 30 kg (66.14 lb) weight (eg. a 30 kg (66.14 lb) of lead mass) onto the passenger seat.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Using the hand-held tester, perform the sensitivity check , and confirm that the sensitivity is within the standard value.

Standard value: 27 to 33 kg (59.52 to 72.75 lb)

HINT:
- When proceeding the sensitivity check, use a solid weight made from metal (the check result may not appear properly if the weight made from liquid is used).
- When the sensitivity deviates from the standard value, retighten the bolts of the passenger seat taking care not to deform the seat rail. After performing this procedure, if the sensitivity does not stay within the standard value, replace the front RH seat assy.

NOTE: Do not place any objects on the seat (perform the initialization by attaching a mass heavier than 2 kg (4.41 lb) in the seatback pocket, seatback table installed by the use, etc.).
