Front Passenger's Weight Sensor Initialization

When you replace the SRS unit, the front passenger's weight sensor, the front passenger's seat assembly, or the ODS unit, initialize the front passenger's weight sensor with the HDS.

Before initializing the front passenger's weight sensor, observe these precautions:

  1. Position the front passenger's seat all the way rearward, and adjust the seat-back to the forward most position. Do not move the seat from this position until the initialization is completed.
  2. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
  3. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  5. 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 ).
  6. Drive the vehicle, and accelerate to 22 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground.
  7. From the Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS, then calibration, then select SWS INITIALIZATION, and follow the prompts until the calibration has been completed.
  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
