    9. Turn the engine switch off.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK → See step   7 

  4. REPLACE OCCUPANT DETECTION ECU 
    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
    2. Replace the occupant detection ECU. Refer to REMOVAL .
    3. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  5. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION AND SENSITIVITY CHECK 
    1. Using the Techstream, perform Zero Point Calibration and Sensitivity Check. Refer to INITIALIZATION .

    NEXT → END 

  6. INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM AND BATTERY. Refer to  ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION 
  7. USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
