Seat Weight Sensor Initialization
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Acura TL, 2010 Acura TL, and 2009 Acura TL. 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 seat assembly, or the ODS unit, calibrate the seat weight sensor with the HDS unit
While calibrating the ODS unit, observe these precautions
- Make sure all components of the front passenger's seat are correctly installed
- Make sure nothing is on or under the front passenger's seat
- Make sure there is nothing in the front passenger's seat-back pocket
- Keep the windows and the moonroof closed
- Do all calibration procedures, except test-driving, in the service bay
- 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 calibration, unless you are prompted to or when you have completed the calibration
- Do not expose the front passenger's seat to sudden temperature changes
- Position the front passenger's all the way rearward, and adjust the seat-back to the most forward position Do not move the seat from this position
- Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A)
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode
- 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 )
- Drive the vehicle, and accelerate to 20 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground
- From the Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS, then Calibration, then select SWS INITIALIZATION, and follow the prompts until the calibration is complete
