Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Occupant classification ecu
Components

On-vehicle inspection
- Inspect occupant classification ecu
(vehicle not involved in collision)
- Perform a diagnostic system check (see page rs-
236).
- Inspect occupant classification ecu
(vehicle involved in collision)
- Perform a diagnostic system check (see page rs-
236).
- Even if the airbag was not deployed, check if there
is any damage to the occupant classification ecu. If
there are any defects as mentioned below, replace
the occupant classification ecu with a new one:
- Cracks, dents or chips on the case.
- Cracks or other damage to the connector.
Caution:
Be sure to follow the correct removal and
installation procedures.
Removal
- Disconnect cable from negative battery
terminal
Caution:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the
cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to
prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.
- Remove front seat assembly (for manual seat)
(see page se-11)
- Remove occupant classification ecu

- Disconnect the 2 connectors from the occupant
classification ecu.
- Using a screwdriver, remove the occupant
classification ecu
Installation
- Install occupant classification ecu
- Check that the ignition switch is off.
- Check that the negative battery (-) terminal is
disconnected.
Caution:
After disconnecting the negative battery
terminal, wait for at least 90 seconds before
starting the operation.
- Install the occupant classification ecu.

System check
Hint:
Performing a system check enables the system,
which consists of multiple actuators, to be operated
without removing any parts. In addition, it can show
whether or not any dtcs are set, and can detect
potential malfunctions in the system. The system
check can be performed with the intelli ...
