ODS Unit Initialization
NOTE:
-
After ODS unit is replaced, do this procedure to initialize the ODS unit.
-
ODS unit initialization will initialize both OPDS sensor and front passenger's weight sensor.
OPDS Sensor Initialization
When you replace a seat-back cover/pad, and/or ODS unit initialize the OPDS sensor with the HDS.
NOTE:
-
A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor can cause DTC 85-71 and DTC 85-78.
-
Before initializing the ODS unit, make sure the battery is fully charged.
-
Make sure all components of the front passenger's seat are correctly installed.
-
Make sure nothing is the front passenger's seat.
-
Make sure there is nothing in the front passenger's seat-back pocket.
-
Keep the A/C and the heater off.
1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS See: Air Bag Systems/Testing and Inspection/Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
2. Set the seat-back in a normal position.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/DLC Circuit Troubleshooting.
7. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then INITIALIZATION. In the INITIALIZATION Menu, select ODS Initialization. Follow the prompts
until the OPDS sensor initialization has been completed.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
NOTE: If the ODS unit fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the seat-back cover/pad with equipped OPDS sensor See: Body and
Frame/Seats/Seat Cover/Service and Repair/Front Seat-Back Cover Replacement, and retry. If the ODS unit continues to fail to initialize, replace the
ODS unit See: Service and Repair/ODS Unit Replacement.
