Initialization [10/2023 - ]

  1. DESCRIPTION 
    1. The zero point of the occupant classification sensors may deviate in the following situations. To ensure sensor accuracy, be sure to perform Zero Point Calibration.
      1. The airbag ECU assembly is replaced.

        HINT: 

        As the zero point is not automatically stored in a new airbag ECU assembly, it is necessary to perform zero point calibration after replacing the airbag ECU assembly.

      2. Accessories (seatback tray, seat cover, etc.) are installed or removed.

        HINT: 

        As the weight of accessories will be added or decreased to the weight of the occupant, the system will not be able to perform classification accurately.

      3. The front passenger seat is removed from the vehicle.

        HINT: 

        As the seat frame will warp slightly when the bolts that are used to install the front passenger seat are tightened, the load applied to the occupant classification sensor will change and the system will not be able to perform classification accurately.

      4. Any of the bolts that are used to install the front passenger seat are removed and reinstalled.

        HINT: 

        As the seat frame will warp slightly when the bolts that are used to install the front passenger seat are tightened, the load applied to the occupant classification sensor will change and the system will not be able to perform classification accurately.

      5. The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("ON") illuminates when the front passenger seat is not occupied or the airbag OFF indicator illuminates when the front passenger seat is occupied (by an adult).

        HINT: 

        If any load or pressure is applied to the occupant classification sensors, the system will not be able to perform classification accurately.

      6. An occupant classification sensor collision detection DTC is output due to an accident or a collision.

        HINT: 

        If the seat frame or vehicle floor has become deformed and additional pressure is applied to the occupant classification sensor, the system will not be able to perform classification accurately.

  2. ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 
    NOTE:

    Make sure that the front passenger seat is not occupied before performing the operation.

    1. Zero point calibration procedure
      1. Check that all of the following conditions are met:

      2. Adjust the seat position according to the table below.
        Adjustment Item Position
        Slide Direction Rearmost position
        Headrest Height Lowest position
        Recline Angle Upright position
      3. Perform zero point calibration by following the prompts on the GTS screen.
