Seat Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair
Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), do not modify the front
passenger seat assembly or center floor console in any way. Do not use any prior year, subsequent year, secondary or aftermarket seat trim
covers. At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or OCS component be modified or replaced with any part except those
which are specified for the particular vehicle application in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar(R) Parts Catalog. Failure to observe these precautions
could cause an OCS miscalibration condition, which may result in the passenger airbag failing to deploy when required or deploying when not
required.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop a seat weight sensor or the passenger side front seat assembly to which the
sensors are secured as it can damage the sensors or affect their calibration. The seat weight sensors and the passenger side front seat assembly
must be handled with care to avoid damage to the sensors. Do not sit upon or place any loads upon a passenger side front seat while it is
removed from its mounts in or outside of the vehicle. If an individual sensor is dropped or damaged, replace the sensor with a new and unused
unit. If a seat has been dropped during removal or loaded while removed from its mounts, replace each of the seat weight sensors with new and
unused units. Failure to observe this warning could result in an accidental, incomplete, or improper passenger side front supplemental restraint
deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), any time the passenger side
front seat assembly has been removed or loosened from the vehicle for service of any vehicle component or system the Occupant Classification
System Verification Test must be performed using a diagnostic scan tool and the Occupant Classification Seat Weight special tool following
reinstallation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures. Failure to observe this warning could result in an accidental, incomplete, or
improper passenger side front supplemental restraint deployment.
1. Position the seat weight sensor (2) over the studs on the upper track of the passenger side front seat adjuster (4).
2. Install and tighten the two nuts that secure the sensor to the studs. Tighten the nuts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
3. Carefully position the seat cushion frame (3) over all four seat weight sensor studs.
