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.
