8. CONNECT BATTERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL
9. CHECK SRS WARNING LIGHT
10. INITIALIZE FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (PASSENGER SEAT ONLY)

NOTICE: Make sure that the seat is not occupied.

HINT: Perform the zero point calibration and sensitivity check when any of the following have occurred.
- The occupant classification ECU is replaced.
- Accessories (seatback tray, seat cover, etc.) are installed.
- The passenger seat is removed from the vehicle.
- Both the SRS warning lamp and the passenger airbag OFF indicator illuminate.
- The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator OFF illuminate on when the passenger seat is not occupied.
- The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair due to an accident or a collision.

a. Zero point calibration and sensitivity check procedures.

HINT: Make sure that the zero point calibration has finished normally, and then perform the sensitivity check.

1. Adjust the seat position according to the table below.

2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. Perform the zero point calibration by following the instructions on the tester screen.

HINT: Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.

OK: COMPLETE is displayed.

5. Perform the sensitivity check by following the prompts on the tester screen.
6. Confirm that the beginning sensor reading is within the standard value.

Standard value: -3.2 to 3.2 kg (-7 to 7 lb)

7. Place a 30 kg (66.14 lb) weight (for example, a lead mass) onto the passenger seat.
8. Confirm that the sensitivity is within the standard value.

Standard value: 27 to 33 kg (59.52 to 72.75 lb)

HINT:
- When performing the sensitivity check, use a solid weight made from metal. The check results may be inaccurate if liquid is used as a weight.
- When the sensitivity is not within the standard value, retighten the bolts of the passenger seat while taking care not to deform the seat rail. Then perform the sensitivity check again. If the sensitivity is not within the standard value, replace the seat adjuster.
- When the zero point calibration produces errors, replace the seat adjuster.
