Calibrating the ODS Unit
When the front passenger's weight sensors and/or ODS unit is replaced, calibrate the weight sensor unit by following the procedure.
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 closed.
-
Perform all calibration procedures, except test driving, in the service bay.
-
Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
-
Keep the NC and the heater off.
-
Do not touch the front passenger's seat until you drive the vehicle.
-
Do not expose the front passenger's seat to sudden temperature changes.
1. Position the front passenger's seat to the rear most position, and adjust the recliner to the most forward position. Do not move the seat from these
positions.
2. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
3. Drive the vehicle, and accelerate to 20 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground.
4. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then Seat Weight Sensor, then Misc Test, then Adjustments. In the Adjustment Menu, select "SWS INIT."
and follow the prompts until the initialization operation has been completed.
5. Prepare a 55 to 77 lbs (25 to 35 kg) weight then measure and note its actual weight (M) with a scale.
NOTE: The accuracy of the scale must be within ±2.2 lbs (1 kg).
6. Place the weight on the front passenger's seat.
NOTE: Leave the HDS connected and in the Misc Menu.
7. Drive the vehicle, and accelerate to 20 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground.
8. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, the Seat Weight Sensor, then Misc Test, then Inspection. In the HDS Inspection Menu, select "SEAT
OUTPUT CHK." The weight (T) of the front passenger's seat is recorded by the HDS.
9. Calculate the variance between the weight measured on the weight scale (M) and the HDS (T) with the formula.
Variance = (T)-(M) <±8.6 lbs (3.9 kg)
M: Weight measured on the scale
T: Weight measured by the HDS with the weight on the seat
-
If the variance is ±8.6 lbs (±3.9 kg) or less, calibration is complete. Go to step 18.
-
If the variance is more than ±8.6 lbs (±3.9 kg), remove the front passenger's weight sensors, and reinstall them, then go to step 10.
10. Remove the weight from the front passenger's seat.
11. Drive the vehicle, accelerate to 20 mph (36 km/h), then stop on level ground.
12. From the HDS inspection menu, select Seat Weight Sensor, then "SEAT OUTPUT CHK." the weight (T0) of the front passenger's seat is recorded
by the HDS.
-
If the reading on the HDS (T0) is ±6.6 lbs (±3.0 kg) or less, go to step 13.
-
If the reading on the HDS (T0) is more than ±6.6 lbs (±3.0 kg), repeat this procedure from the beginning.
13. Measure and note the prepared weight (M1) again with a scale.
