Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Trouble in passenger airbag on / off indicator
Description
The occupant classification system detects the front passenger seat condition
and then indicates whether
the front passenger airbag is activated or not through the passenger airbag on /
off indicator
illumination.
The passenger airbag on / off indicator illumination changes depending on the
front passenger seat
condition as shown in the table below.

Inspection procedure
- Check srs warning light
- Turn the ignition switch on, and check the srs warning
light condition.
Ok:
the srs warning light does not come on.

- Check passenger airbag on/off indicator condition
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Check if the passenger airbag on / off indicator
correctly indicates the front passenger seat condition.
Ok 

- Perform zero point calibration
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the
dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point
calibration (see page rs-241).
Ok:
completed is displayed.

- Perform sensitivity check
- Using the intelligent tester, perform the sensitivity check
(see page rs-241).
Standard value:
27 to 33 kg (59.52 To 72.75 Lb)

End
- Retighten front seat assembly rh bolt
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Loosen the 4 installation bolts of the front seat rh.
- Tighten the 4 installation bolts of the front seat rh to the
specified torque (see page se-22).
Torque:
37 n*m{ 377 kgf*cm , 27 ft.*Lbf }

- Perform zero point calibration
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the
dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point
calibration (see page rs-241).
Ok:
completed is displayed.

- Perform sensitivity check
- Using the intelligent tester, perform the sensitivity check
(see page rs-241).
Standard value:
27 to 33 kg (59.52 To 72.75 Lb)

- Check connector
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Check that the connectors are properly connected to the
occupant classification ecu and the 4 occupant
classification sensors.
Ok:
the connectors are connected.
- Disconnect the connectors from the occupant
classification ecu and the 4 occupant classification
sensors.
- Check that the connectors are not damaged or
deformed.
Ok:
the connectors are normal.

- Check for dtc
- Connect the connectors to the occupant classification
ecu and the 4 occupant classification sensors.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal,
and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60
seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Clear the dtcs (see page rs-249).
- Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for at least 60
seconds.
- Check the dtcs (see page rs-249).
Ok:
dtc is not output.

- Replace occupant classification ecu
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Replace the occupant classification ecu (see page rs-
392).
Hint:
Perform the inspection using parts from a normal vehicle
if possible.
- Perform zero point calibration
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal,
and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the
dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Using the intelligent tester, perform the zero point
calibration (see page rs-241).
Ok:
completed is displayed.

- Perform sensitivity check
- Using the intelligent tester, perform the sensitivity check
(see page rs-241).
Standard value:
27 to 33 kg (59.52 To 72.75 Lb)

Hint:
Using the intelligent tester's data list allows switch,
sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without
removing any parts. Reading the data list early in
troubleshooting is one way to save time.

Srs airbags
The srs airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce
the risk of death or serious injury.
