How do you calibrate a Honda seat weight sensor?
Settle the seat weight sensors after the seat is properly set-up by doing this:
- Drive the vehicle at 22 mph (36 km/h), then park the vehicle on level ground.
- Turn off the engine and HVAC system. Close the windows and doors.
- During the calibration procedure, DO NOT sit in or touch the front passenger’s seat.
What is OPDS sensor?
OPDS is Occupant Position Detection System It’s used to detect the size of the occupant in the passenger seat. If it detects a child sitting in the seat, it will not deploy the airbag.
What is ODS in car?
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require the use of an Occupant Detection System (ODS). Most Occupant Detection Systems measure the weight of the front seat passenger, to determine if the front passenger seat airbag should deploy.
Where is the weight sensor on a car?
Passenger Occupancy Sensor, also known as Weight Sensor, Seat Mat, Passenger Occupancy Mat, is installed under the passenger seat’s seat cushion. Its purpose is to send a signal to the airbag module if an adult is sitting on the passenger seat.
When do seat weight sensors need to be recalibrated?
Requires recalibration (SWS Initialization) when seat weight sensors or the ODS/SWS unit is replaced. When seat weight sensors were first added, there was a separate SWS unit mounted under the front passenger’s seat.
When to use HDS to zero out seat weight sensor?
If replacing the seat weight sensors and/or the ODS/SWS unit, SWS INITIALIZATION must be done using the HDS to “zero out” the existing calibration. For ODS seat weight sensor inspections 2 and 3, the HDS software requires driving the vehicle 22 mph to properly check the seat weight sensor’s operation and calibration.
Where is the passenger seat mat sensor located?
Passenger Occupancy Sensor, also known as Weight Sensor, Seat Mat, Passenger Occupancy Mat, is installed under the passenger seat’s seat cushion. Its purpose is to send a signal to the airbag module if an adult is sitting on the passenger seat. This will allow the airbag module to deploy the passenger airbag in case of an accident.
