Tribute 4WD L4-2.5L Hybrid (2009)
CAUTION:The following precautions must be taken before carrying out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system and may cause system failure.Make sure the OCS system components are connected and
no faults are present.Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when initiating the rezeroing process. If
the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits, 0°C to 45°C
(32°F to 113°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset and nothing
is placed on the seat during the process.Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the carrying
out the OCS system reset process.
10. If the first system reset attempt was unsuccessful, carry out a thorough visual inspection of the following and repair any concerns found:
-
OCS system connector and wiring for damage
-
Pressure sensor hose for kinks and/of damage
-
Seat-related wiring harness and body wiring harness terminals and connectors for damage
11. Carry out a second OCS system reset. If the second attempt was unsuccessful, install a new OCS system service kit.
NOTE:The ignition switch must be cycled after the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset is successful.
12. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag
modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present,
the air bag indicator will either:
- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON
position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a
chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and
repaired.
Clear all RCM and OCS module DTCs using a scan tool.
13. Fill out the necessary information on the occupant classification sensor traceability card and return it along with the complete inoperative occupant
classification sensor to Mazda North American Operations.
-
When returning the inoperative occupant classification sensor, include the following: seat cushion foam pad, bladder, ECU, pressure sensor
(transducer), hose, electrical connectors and wire harness (service part occupant classification sensor only).
NOTE:When installing a new occupant classification sensor, a prepaid return postcard is provided with the new occupant classification sensor. The
serial number for the new part and the vehicle identification number (VIN) must be recorded and sent to Mazda North American Operations.
