FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [EXCEPT L3 WITH TC]

WARNINGHandling the front seat (with a side air bag) improperly can accidentally deploy the side air bag, which may seriously injure you. Read air bag system service warnings and cautions before handling the front seat (with a side air bag). (See SERVICE WARNINGS. ) (See SERVICE CAUTIONS. )
CAUTIONWhen the passenger's seat is removed, perform the seat weight sensor inspection using the M-MDS after installing the passenger's seat. (See SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR INSPECTION. ) When the passenger's seat is replaced with a new one, perform the seat weight sensor calibration using the M-MDS. (See SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CALIBRATION. )

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute.
  3. Remove the seat belt anchor (passenger's side). (See «FRONT SEAT BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.»(ref-288742-S36285068912008062500000) )
  4. Remove in the order indicated in the table. (Scheme 1): Front Seat (Except L3 With TC) & Torque Specification
  5. Install in the reverse order of removal.

  1. Remove the front seat. (See «FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [EXCEPT L3 WITH TC]»(ref-288736-S34803982802008062500000) ).
  2. Remove the seat cushion trim. (See «FRONT SEAT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY [EXCEPT L3 WITH TC]»(ref-288736-S15282853952008062500000) ).
  3. While inspecting for continuity between the connector terminals A and B, use a dryer to warm the thermostat of the seat warmer unit on seat cushion. (Scheme 5): Drying To Warm Thermostat Of Seat Warmer Unit On Seat Cushion
  4. When the ohmmeter indicates that there is no continuity, turn off the dryer, then use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the thermostat.
  5. Verify that the temperature is approx. 37 °C {99 °F}. (Scheme 6): Measuring Temperature Of Thermostat
  6. Using an ohmmeter, verify that there is continuity between the seat warmer unit connector terminals when temperature drops to approx. 28 °C {82 °F}. If not as indicated in the table, replace the seat warmer unit.
