FRONT SEAT
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
When removing or installing the seat trim, handle it carefully to keep dirt out and avoid damage.
Before removing the front seat, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery cables and
wait at least 3 minutes.
When checking the power seat circuit for continuity using a circuit tester, do not confuse its con-
nector with the side air bag module connector. Such an error may cause the air bag to deploy.
Do not drop, tilt, or bump the side air bag module while installing the seat. Always handle it with
care.
After front side air bag module inflates, front seatback assembly must be replaced.
Front passenger seat is equipped with an Occupant Classification System sensor and control
module. Do not disassemble front passenger seat cushion assembly or remove the trim as this
will affect the Occupant Classification System calibration.
Always replace passenger seat cushion as an assembly.
1. Slide the seat until the four body mounting bolts are visible and a tool can be inserted. NOTE:
If disassembling the seat after removal, set the front/rear cushion lifters to the top position.
2. Disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
3. Disconnect the side air bag module harness connector.
4. Remove the four body mounting bolts.
5. Disconnect the power seat harness connectors and remove the seat from the vehicle. NOTE:
When removing and installing the seat, use shop cloths to protect the vehicle from damage.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

WARNING:
Removal of front side air bag module should only be done to allow deployment of front side air bag
module prior to disposal of seatback assembly.
NOTE:
Only complete seatback assemblies can be replaced on vehicles equipped with side air bags.
Be sure to set the front/rear cushion lifter to the top position.

Trouble Diagnosis IntroductionEHS0016M
CAUTION:
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in
this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness con-
nectors.
Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify SRS wiring harnesses. If a harness is damaged, replace
it with a new one.
Keep ground connections clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-II.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal-
function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-II are as follows:
HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a malfunction. It is important to fully understand the symp-
toms or conditions for a customer complaint.

Trouble Diagnosis: “AIR BAG” Warning Lamp Does Not Turn OffEHS0016V
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 6
1. CHECK CONDITION OF AIR BAG MODULE
Inspect for any deployed air bag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners.
Are any air bag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners deployed?
Yes >> Refer to SRS-60, "COLLISION DIAGNOSIS" .
No >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK THE AIR BAG FUSE
Check 10A fuse [No. 13, located in the fuse block (J/B)].
Refer to PG-4, "
POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK AIR BAG FUSE AGAIN
Replace 10A fuse [No. 13, located in the fuse block (J/B)] and turn ignition switch ON.
Does the fuse blow again?
Yes >> Repair harness.
No >> Inspection End.
4. CHECK AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT
Connect CONSULT-II and touch “START”.
Is
“AIR BAG” displayed on CONSULT-II?
Yes >> GO TO 5.
No >> Visually inspect the air bag diagnosis sensor unit har- ness connections. If the connections are OK, replace
the air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to SRS-58,
"Removal and Installation" .
5. CHECK HARNESS CONNECTION
Check for loose connections between the combination meter and the air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to SRS-58, "Removal and Installation" .
NG >> Properly connect the combination meter and air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors. If “AIR BAG” warning lamp still does not turn off, replace the wiring harness.
