Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Seat position sensor
Components

On-vehicle inspection
- Check seat position sensor (vehicle not
involved in collision)
- Perform a diagnostic system check (see page rs-
49).
- Check seat position sensor (vehicle
involved in collision)
- Perform a diagnostic system check (see page rs-
49).
- Even if the airbag was not deployed, check if there
is any damage to the seat position sensor.
If there are any defects as mentioned below, replace
the seat position sensor with a new one:
- Cracks, dents or chips on the sensor housing.
- Cracks or other damage to the connector.
Caution:
For removal and installation procedures of the
seat position sensor, be sure to follow the
correct procedure.
Removal
Caution:
Be sure to read the precautionary notices concerning the
srs airbag system before servicing it (see page rs-1).
- 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 front seat assembly (for power seat)
(see page se-27)
- Remove seat position airbag sensor

- Remove the seat slide position sensor protector
from the seat position sensor.
- Using a t30 "torx" socket, remove the "torx" screw
and seat position sensor.
- Disconnect the connector.
Installation
Caution:
Be sure to read the precautionary notices concerning the
srs airbag system before servicing it (see page rs-1).
- Install seat position airbag sensor
- Using a 1 mm (0.039 In.) Feeler gauge, install the
seat position sensor.
Notice:
- If the seat position sensor has been dropped,
or there are any cracks, dents or other
defects in the case or connector, replace the
seat position sensor with a new one.
- When installing the seat position sensor, be
careful that the srs wiring does not interfere
with other parts and that it is not pinched
between other parts.
Hint
Be sure that the clearance between the seat
position sensor and the seat rail is within 0.6 Mm to
1.4 Mm (0.023 To 0.055 In.).
- Using a t30 "torx" socket, tighten the "torx" screw to
install the seat position sensor.
Torque: 8.0 N*m (82 kgf*cm, 71 in.*Lbf)
- Make sure that the clearance between the seat
position sensor and the seat rail is within 0.6 Mm to
1.4 Mm (0.023 To 0.055 In.).
- Connect the connector.

- Install the seat slide position sensor protector to the
seat position sensor.
- Install front seat assembly (for manual seat)
(see page se-22)
- Install front seat assembly (for power seat)
(see page se-37)
- Connect cable to negative battery
terminal
- Check srs warning light
- Check the srs warning light (see page rs-34).

Intake air temperature sensor gradient too high
Description
The intake air temperature (iat) sensor, mounted on the mass air flow (maf)
meter, monitors the iat.
The iat sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according
to the temperature of the
intake air. When the iat is low, the resistance of the thermist ...
Short in can bus lines
Description
There may be a short circuit between the can bus lines when the resistance
between terminals 6 (canh)
and 14 (canl) of the dlc3 is below 54
