AFFECTED VEHICLES:
DESCRIPTION:
Beginning MY 2008, the PAD (Passenger Airbag Disabled) lamp illuminates when the front passenger seat is unoccupied (See Figure 2). Earlier
vehicles, within the affected vehicles range shown, that receive a total CAN or SRS reload or upgrade will receive the new logic. Some customers may
misinterpret the new logic as a fault.
An actual SRS/OWS faults will always be accompanied by the presence of an SRS DTC and a DIM message stating either "SRS service urgent" or "SRS
service required."
When fault tracing SRS/OWS complaints regarding PAD lamp operation, please make sure they are not due to the logic change described.
SERVICE:
There are 2 scenarios where you should inform the customer about the PAD lamp logic change and attach the provided letter to the customer's copy of
the repair order upon delivery of the vehicle:
