Occupant Classification Sensor Inspection: Notes

WARNING:

Handling a side air bag improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings/cautions in the service information before handling the front seat (side air bag integrated). (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM] .) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM] .)
If the sliding mechanisms on both sides are not locked after assembling the front seat, the front seat will operate accidentally while the vehicle is driven, which could result in serious injury. After assembling the front seat, shake it up and down and verify that the sliding mechanism on the both sides are locked.

NOTE:

If cargo is put on the sensor detection area of the occupant classification sensor, the sensor may respond.

Remove the passenger-side front seat with the connector connected. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
Connect the negative (-) lead of the tester to body ground.
Insert the positive (+) lead of the tester into each occupant classification sensor terminal.
Measure the voltage according to the terminal voltage table.
- If there is any malfunction, inspect the parts under "Inspection item (s)".
  - If the parts under "Inspection item (s)" are found to be normal, replace the occupant classification sensor.
