Ranger 2WD V6-3.0L (2008)
Seat Cushion, Front Passenger (Part 2)
Disassembly
WARNING:
-
Never probe the electrical connectors on safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors, which
increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
-
Install a new occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kit as a complete assembly. Never install only part of the kit
components. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system and increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
-
Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete, the seat and all attached components (head restraint, seat side shield, etc.) are
correctly assembled, and the seat is correctly installed to the vehicle before carrying out the System Reset. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in incorrect operation of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
CAUTION: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front
passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed or an OCS system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out
the OCS system reset command.
NOTE:
-
Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system
module [OCSM]) 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, OCSM and seat wiring harness) must be installed as an assembly.
-
To identify between a production occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the occupant classification
system module (OCSM) electrical connector.
A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.
An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module, it cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (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.
-
When installing a new OCS system service kit, refer to Air Bag Systems for the OCS removal and installation procedure.
All seats
1. Remove the front seat.
2. Remove the front seat backrest.
3. Release the cushion trim cover rear J-clip from the seat cushion.
