The OEM Summit highlighted another procedure shops might not be grasping.

(Toyota slide photo by John Huetter/Repairer Driven News) Blind spot monitor angle Instructions for a 2017 Corolla are seen on this Toyota slide from the presentation. 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 on Nov. Same manufacturer, “two different processes,” remarked Anderson, the CEO of Collision Advice. (Assuming, of course, that recalibration wasn’t already a given based on one of the other criteria.)

Instead, the shop would scan the car and look for a diagnostic trouble code to make that determination. That 2017 Corolla’s OCS doesn’t need a reset on every collision, Mendoza said. An occupant classification sensor collision detection DTC is output due to an accident or a collision.The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator (“ON”) comes on when the front passenger seat is not occupied.

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.
