-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
-
Do not separate components.
CAUTION: It is necessary to rezero the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a
new trim cover installed, or an OCS service kit is installed. A diagnostic tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out rezeroing of the
OCS system.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
OCS system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) are calibrated to each other and are
serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat
cushion foam pad are needed, a new OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) must
be installed as an assembly.
-
To identify between a production OCS system and a service OCS system (OCS service kit) inspect the electronic control unit (ECU) electrical
connector. A production OCS system allows the disconnect of the ECU electrical connector. A service OCS system (OCS service kit) has the ECU
electrical connector glued to the ECU. It cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
-
The heated seat element on the front passenger seat cushion is not serviceable separately. If a new heated seat element is needed on the front
passenger seat cushion, a new occupant classification sensor (OCS) service kit and a new heated seat element must be installed.
-
If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic
procedure again.
-
If removing an OCS service kit, refer to Occupant Classification Sensor - Service Kit. See: Occupant Classification Sensor - Service Kit
