A slide he presented showed this could be found within Toyota’s official repair procedure site TIS within Vehicle Interior > SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS > OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION > INITIALIZATION. Such instructions can be found in the “INITIALIZATION” section of the repair procedures, according to Mendoza. It means the “vast majority” of vehicles a shop would encounter, Mendoza said. The vehicle is brought to the workshop after an accident or collision.The passenger ON/OFF indicator indicates OFF when the front passenger seat is not occupied.The occupant classification ECU is replaced.Mendoza showed repair procedures for a 2013 Corolla, which state a zero point calibration must occur “if any of the following conditions” occur: An uncalibrated sensor might interpret the occupant’s weight as too low or too high and make the wrong call about deploying the airbag. For children, an airbag might be more harmful than helpful, so it’s critical shops restore the device to proper working order. The sensor evaluates the weight of the front passenger seat occupant to determine if it would be safe to blow the airbag during a collision. The answer: “Check the repair manual,” Mendoza said. Questions about when the OCS system needs a reset are among the more common ones encountered, Mendoza said, citing information from OEM Summit session moderator Mike Anderson. The need for a Toyota Occupant Classification System calibration will vary based on the vehicle being repaired, Eric Mendoza of Toyota collision operations told the SCRS OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit earlier this month.
