Driver's Seat Position Sensor Operation CheckCheck the driver's seat position after any of these actions.

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF (0).
2. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Move the seat all the way forward.
5. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS, then Data List, then SPS.
6. Using a piece of tape (A), mark a line on the seat's outer cover (B), where the front riser cover meets the Seat riser (C). The SPS should read "NEAR."
NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the HDS to display changes, so wait about 5 seconds between each move.
7. Move the seat back in small increments (about 0.2 in./5mm) until the SPS reads "NOT NEAR." The seat should be approximately 1 in. (25 mm) from the front.
If the SPS data does not work as described above, check the driver's seat position sensor or the cover plate for damage, and replace parts as needed
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
