Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation Check

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check the driver's seat position sensor after the driver's seat position sensor replacement.

Make sure the driver's seat is in the full forward position.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then PARAMETER INFORMATION. In the PARAMETER INFORMATION Menu, select Buckle Switch, Seat Position Sensor.
Using two pieces of tape (A), make alignment marks (B) on the recline cover (C) and the riser cover (D) as shown. The driver's seat position sensor should read NEAR.

Move the seat back in small increments (about 5 mm, 0.20 in) until the driver's seat position sensor reads NOT NEAR. The seat should be about 55 mm (2.17 in) from the front.
NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the HDS to display changes, so wait for about 5 seconds between each movement. If the driver's seat position sensor data does not work as described above, check the driver's seat position sensor for damage, and replace parts as needed.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
