If not as specified, replace the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
WARNING:
Handling a side air bag improperly can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag, which may seriously injure you. Read the service warnings/cautions in the Workshop Manual before handling the front seat (side air bag integrated). (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)
If the sliding mechanisms on both sides are not locked after assembling the front seat, the front seat will operate accidentally while the vehicle is driven, which could result in serious injury. After assembling the front seat, shake it up and down and verify that the sliding mechanism on the both sides are locked.
CAUTION:
If the slide lever is operated after the front seat is removed, the left/right slide positions will deviate and the adjuster unit could be damaged after the front seat is installed. After removing a front seat, do not operate the slide lever.
Verify that there are no malfunctions in the forward/back slide of the seat and in the adjuster unit after installing a front seat.
When performing the procedure with a front seat removed from the vehicle, perform the procedure on a clean cloth so as not to damage or soil the seat.
When the passenger's seat is removed, perform the seat weight sensor inspection using the M-MDS after installing the passenger's seat. (See SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR INSPECTION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)
When the passenger's seat is replaced with a new one, perform the seat weight sensor calibration using the M-MDS. (See SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR CALIBRATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)
1. Switch the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait 1 min. or more. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
3. Remove the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4. Inspect for continuity between the seat warmer unit connector terminal 5C and 5D.
If not as specified, replace the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5. Measure the temperature around the thermostat.
NOTE:
To produce a normal temperature around the thermostat, leave the seat warmer turned off for 30 minutes or more.
6. Measure the resistance between the seat warmer unit connector terminals 5A and 5B, records with the surrounding temperature of the thermostat measured beforehand.
7. Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
8. Connect the seat warmer unit connector.
9. Switch the seat warmer switch to the Lo position and warm the seat.
10. Measure the resistance between the seat warmer unit connector terminals 5A and 5B, and record it.
11. Switch the seat warmer switch to the High position and warm the seat.
12. Measure the resistance between the seat warmer unit connector terminals 5A and 5B, it is confirmed that there is a change from the resistance recorded beforehand.
If the change in resistance cannot be verified, replace the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
1. Switch the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait 1 min. or more. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
3. Remove the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4. Inspect for continuity between the seat warmer unit connector (short code) terminals A and B.
If not as specified, replace the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait 1 min. or more. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
3. Remove the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4. Inspect for continuity between the seat warmer unit connector (short code) terminals G and H.
If not as specified, replace the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5. Measure the temperature around the thermostat.
NOTE:
To produce a normal temperature around the thermostat, leave the seat warmer turned off for 30 minutes or more.
6. Measure the resistance between the seat warmer unit connector terminals D and F, records with the surrounding temperature of the thermostat measured beforehand.
7. Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
8. Connect the seat warmer unit connector.
9. Switch the seat warmer switch to the Lo position and warm the seat.
10. Measure the resistance between the seat warmer unit connector terminals D and F, and record it.
11. Switch the seat warmer switch to the High position and warm the seat.
12. Measure the resistance between the seat warmer unit connector terminals D and F, it is confirmed that there is a change from the resistance recorded beforehand.
If the change in resistance cannot be verified, replace the front seat. (See FRONT SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
