Seat Position Sensor: Service and Repair
Seat Position Sensor
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
1. Position the front seat to the rearmost and upward position.
2. WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result
in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
Turn the ignition off and wait one minute.
3. Disconnect the seat position sensor electrical connector.
4. Remove the bolt and seat position sensor.
-
To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).
5. WARNING: Always tighten the seat position sensor retaining bolt to specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint
system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
6. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules
installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is detected,
the air bag warning indicator will:
-
fail to light.
-
remain lit continuously.
-
flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time
required to complete testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5
sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
