(4)	Perform the WCS reset by using the GDS. [System selection screen] Vehicle Selection_Airbag_Weight Classification System _WCS RESET_ENTER (then, Completed is displayed)

(5)	Perform the accuracy check by using the GDS. [System selection screen] Vehicle Selection_Airbag_Weight Classification System_WCS RESET_ESC

(6)

Confirm the measured weight is within the standard value. And then press "ESC".

•	When performing the accuracy check, use a solid metal weight and place it at the center of the seat. If the weight made from liquid is used or the weight slides, the check result may not accurate, and could result in unwanted fail

•

When the measured weight deviates from the standard value, check again all the fastening bolts are tightened properly. And make sure there is no interference. During the tightening, be careful not to deform the seat rail or seat structure. If the accuracy check is still not inside the standard value, replace the front passenger seat assembly.

•	If the WCS reset operation not completed normally, replace the front passenger seat assembly.

After installing the WCS, confirm proper system operation:

•	Turn the ignition switch ON, the SRS indicator should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
