What does Toyota say about zero point calibration?
Response
Per our contact at Toyota, refer to the Spring 2015 Collision Pros publication which states:
“Toyota’s position on zero point calibration is stated in the Toyota Repair Manual. OCS calibration is an essential part of returning a vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
Toyota requires a zero point OCS calibration and sensitivity check when any of the following occurs:
- The occupant detection ECU is replaced.
- Accessories (seatback tray and seat cover, etc.) are installed.
- The front passenger seat is removed from the vehicle.
- One of the bolts used to install the front passenger seat is removed.
- The passenger airbag indicator light comes on when the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
- The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair due to an accident or a collision.”
A tool that may be used to find out restraints system part replacement and inspection is the I-CAR developed (in cooperation with AudaExplore, a Solera company) OEM Restraints System Part Replacement Search.
