3. DESCRIPTION OF OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
(a) GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
(1) In the occupant classification system, the occupant classification ECU calculates the weight of
the occupant based on a signal from the occupant classification sensor. This system recognizes
the occupant to be a child if it detects a weight of less than 36 kg (79.37 lb), and disables the
front and side airbags.
(2) This system is mainly comprised of 4 occupant classification sensors that detect the load on the
front passenger seat. The occupant classification ECU controls the system, and the passenger
airbag ON/OFF indicator indicates the ON/OFF condition of the front passenger airbag assembly
and side airbag assembly (passenger side).
(b) OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR.
The occupant classification sensors are installed on 4 brackets connecting the seat rail and seat frame.
Accordingly, when load is applied to the passenger seat by an occupant sitting in it, the occupant classi-
fication sensors register a distortion.

(c) Review.
(1) When the SRS airbag system is normal:
The SRS warning light comes on only during the primary check period (for approximately 6 se-
conds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position).
(2) When the SRS airbag system has trouble:
The SRS warning light remains on even after the primary check period has elapsed.
The SRS warning light goes off after the primary check, but comes on again during the
constant check.
The SRS warning light does not come on when turning the ignition switch from the LOCK
to ON position.
HINT:
The airbag sensor assembly keeps the SRS warning light on if the airbag has been deployed.
4. FUNCTION OF PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR
The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator function as follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator (ºONº and ºOFFº) comes on for approximately 4 se-
conds, then goes off for approximately 2 seconds.
(3) Approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the passenger
airbag ON/OFF indicator will be ON/OFF depending on the conditions listed below.
HINT:
If the front passenger seat condition and the indication by the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator differ from
those shown in the table below, and the SRS warning light is off, then the DTC is not output. If this occurs,
perform troubleshooting of ºTrouble in indication of Passenger airbag ON/OFF indicatorº (see page
DI±1485).

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The occupant classification system detects the front passenger seat condition. It then informs a passenger
of the front passenger airbag assembly condition (activated/not activated) by the passenger airbag ON/OFF
indicator.
The table below shows the normal indication condition of the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator and the
front passenger seat condition.

Important information about your Toyota
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to
read Section 1±3 of this Owner 's Manual carefully. In
terms of helping you understand how you can receive the
maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this
vehicle provides, Section 1±3 of this Owner 's Manual is
the most important Section for you and your family to
read.
Section 1±3 describes the function and operation concern-
ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys-
tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you
should be aware of. These systems work together along
with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide
occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of
each system is enhanced when it is used properly and
together with other systems. No single occupant restraint
system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the
equal level of restraint which these systems can provide
when used together. That is why it is important for you and
your family to understand the purpose and proper use of
each of these systems and how they relate to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help
reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the
event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ-
ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the
event of collision. However, the more you know about
these systems and how to use them properly, the greater
your chances become of surviving an accident without
death or serious injury.
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of
the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear
seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be
secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for
their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with,
and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes
for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing
the risk of head and chest injuries by preventing contact of
the head and chest with interior portions of the vehicle.
