NOTICE: To prevent system failure, the following precautions must be taken before carrying out the Occupant Classification Sensor
(OCS) system reset:
-
Make sure the voltage to the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) is above 8 volts and less than 18 volts.
-
Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) when initiating the OCS system reset
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, 6°C to 36°C (42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.
