SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CALIBRATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]

CAUTIONIf any of the following work is performed, perform the seat weight sensor calibration using the M-MDS. Replacement with a new seat weight sensor Replacement with a new seat weight sensor control module Replacement with new passenger-side seat parts Disassembly of the passenger-side seat
  1. If any of the following work is performed, perform the seat weight sensor inspection using the M-MDS. (See «SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR INSPECTION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]»(ref-579329-S15453546782013100700000).) Removal of the passenger-side seat Loosening and retightening of passenger's seat fixing bolts Or, the vehicle is involved in a collision NOTE: When seat weight sensor calibration is performed causing the SAS control module to detect the DTC, perform the following procedure. Have two 20 kg {44 lb} weights ready to use. Connect the M-MDS (IDS) to the DLC-2. see scheme 35: Identifying DLC-2 Location After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the IDS. Select "Body". Select "Restraints". Select "Passenger Seat Weight Sensor ReZero". Then, select item from the SWS Calibration screen menu in the following order. Select "(1)-When you have replaced any SWS or SWS module, and/or any seat part except SWS." Perform calibration following the procedures on the M-MDS screen.

CLOCK SPRING ADJUSTMENT

Note. The adjustment procedure is also specified on the caution label of the clock spring.

  1. Set the front wheels straight ahead. CAUTION: The clock spring will break if over-wound. Do not forcibly turn the clock spring.
  2. Turn the clock spring clockwise until it stops. (Scheme 1): Turning Clock Spring Clockwise
  3. Turn the clock spring counterclockwise 2 3/4 turns. (Scheme 2): Turning Clock Spring Counterclockwise 2 3/4 Turns
  4. Align the mark on the clock spring with the mark on the outer housing. (Scheme 3): Aligning Mark On Clock Spring With Mark On Outer Housing

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See «BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5]»(ref-579330-S31782573982013100700000).) (See «BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI TURBO]»(ref-579331-S30971870802013100700000).) (See «BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]»(ref-579332-S32330103212013100700000).)
  2. Remove the driver-side air bag module. (See «DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]»(ref-579329-S05413955052013100700000).)
  3. Remove the steering wheel. (See «STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WITHOUT ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM]»(ref-579349-S31871586872013100700000).)(See «STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WITH ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM]»(ref-579349-S03087325462013100700000).)
  4. Remove the column cover.
  5. Remove the clock spring. (See «CLOCK SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-579329-S06854914382013100700000).)
  6. Verify that the continuity is as indicated in the table. If not as indicated in the table, replace the clock spring. NOTE: When the vehicle-side connector for the clock spring is disconnected, terminals 1C and 1D are shorted to prevent unexpected operation (deployment) of the air bag module.
