Removal
WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result
in serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION: 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 is installed, or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out
the OCS system reset. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the incorrect operation of the OCS system.
NOTE:
-
Occupant classification sensor (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.
-
To identify between a production OCS system and an OCS system service kit, inspect the occupant classification system module (OCSM)
electrical connector. A production OCS system allows the disconnect of the OCSM electrical connector. An OCS service kit has the OCSM
electrical connector glued to the OCS. It cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
-
A new heater mat can be attached to the foam pad where the old heater mat was removed but a used heater mat should not be reattached to any
foam pad.
-
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.
-
If removing an OCS service kit, refer to Occupant Classification Sensor - Service Kit. See: Occupant Classification Sensor - Service Kit
