Monterey V6-4.2L VIN 2 (2004)
Seat Occupant Sensor: Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:
-
There are three occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kits available for this vehicle (base seat, heated seat and climate
controlled seat). Always make sure the correct OCS service kit is installed.
-
It is necessary to rezero the OCS system when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed, a seat side shield
removed, or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out rezeroing of the OCS system.
-
While positioning the seat cushion pan and occupant classification sensor (OCS) assembly, be careful not to damage any of the
components. Failure to do so can result in component failure.
-
Use care when separating the seat cushion trim cover from the hook and loop strip. The hook and loop strip can be torn from the seat
cushion foam.
-
Make sure the seat is completely assembled before rezeroing.
-
The following precautions must be taken before rezeroing the OCS system:
-
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 rezeroing and nothing is placed on the seat during the rezeroing process.
-
Make sure a minimum eight second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the rezeroing process.
-
Inspect the occupant classification sensor bladder, seat cushion pan and support assembly for any foreign objects, before installing the
occupant classification sensor to the seat cushion pan. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury, in the event of an air bag deployment.
-
Failure to route the seat occupant classification sensor components through the correct seat cushion support opening can cause safety
system failure.
-
Inspect the seat cushion pad and seat cushion trim cover for any foreign objects, before installing the seat cushion trim cover to the seat
cushion pad. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, in the event of an air bag
deployment.
-
Make sure the seat is completely assembled before rezeroing.
