Front Passenger's Weight Sensor Initialization

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.

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

NOTE:
  • Before initializing the front passenger's weight sensor, make sure the battery is fully charged.
  • Before initializing the ODS unit, clear the DTCs.
  • Make sure all Components of the front passenger's seat are correctly installed.
  • Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat, including after market seat covers or mats.
  • Make sure there is nothing in the front passenger's seat-back pocket.
  • Keep the windows and the moonroof closed.
  • Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
  • Keep the A/C and the heater off.
  • Do not touch the front passenger's seat during the operation check.
  • Do not expose the front passenger's seat to sudden temperature changes.
  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. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  3. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

  7. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then INITIALIZATION. In the INITIALIZATION Menu, select SWS Initialization. Follow the prompts until the front passenger's weight sensor initialization has been completed.
  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
