BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Scheme 121
CAUTION
- If the seat cushion cover is removed or replaced, make sure to perform passenger detection system adjustment after installing the seat to the vehicle. < Ref. to «SYSTEM CALIBRATION (REZEROING)»(ref-306944-S34097897372008122600000) , OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor . > Failure to do so may cause improper operation of the passenger detection system.
- The passenger detection system (passenger seat only) control unit and the passenger detection sensor are fixed to the seat cushion frame. Never remove the passenger detection control unit or the pressure sensor from the seat cushion frame.
- Do not replace the seat cushion pad by itself. Always replace the seat cushion pad and frame assembly as a set. The seat cushion pad and cushion frame are adjusted as a set at the time of manufacture. If cushion pads and cushion frames are combined from those of other vehicles or other sets, the passenger detection system may not operate properly.
- If the seat cushion cover is removed, make sure to replace the hang wire on the seat cushion side with a new wire.
- Never connect the battery in reverse polarity. Occupant detection system may be destroyed instantly.
- Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is running. A large counter electromotive force will be generated in the generator, and this voltage may damage electronic parts such as occupant detection control module.
- Before disconnecting the connectors of each sensor and control module, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF and wait for 20 seconds or more. Occupant detection control module may be damaged.
- All passenger detection system parts are precision components. Do not drop them.
| CAUTION | Do not use electrical test equipment on the airbag system wiring harness and connector circuit. Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when servicing the occupant detection system. Refer to "Airbag System" when repairing the occupant detection system. < Ref. to CAUTION , General Description . > |
PREPARATION TOOL
| CAUTION | To measure the voltage and resistance of airbag system and occupant detection system components, be sure to use the specified test harness. |
GENERAL TOOL
| TOOL NAME | REMARKS |
| Circuit tester | Used for measuring resistance, voltage and current. |

Scheme 124: BUCKLE SWITCH
- How to disconnect: Move the slide lock (A) in the direction of arrow. While holding the slide lock (A) in the moved position, disconnect the connector. CAUTION: When pulling the slide lock or disconnecting connector, be sure to hold the connector, not the harness.
- How to connect
Holding the connector (A), and push it in carefully until a clicking sound is heard.
Scheme 125
| CAUTION | Be sure to insert the connector in until it is locked. Then pull it gently to make sure that it is locked. |
DISPLAY OF STATUS INFORMATION
