11. WARNING: Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete, the seat and all attached components (head restraint, seat side shield,
etc.) are correctly assembled, and the seat is correctly installed to the vehicle before carrying out the System Reset. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in incorrect operation of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTICE: To prevent system failure, 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 installed or an OCS system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry
out the OCS system reset command.
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 8.0 volts and less than 18.0 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 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.
-
Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset and nothing is placed on the seat during
the process.
-
Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before carrying out the OCS system reset
process.
Carry out the OCS system reset. If the system reset was successful, proceed to Step 15, otherwise proceed to Step 12.
12. If the first system reset attempt was unsuccessful, carry out a thorough visual inspection of the following:
-
OCS system wiring
-
Check the pressure sensor hose for kinks and/or damage
-
Related seat wiring harness, body wiring harness terminals and connectors
13. If the damage is found, repair and/or install new components as necessary.
14. Carry out a second OCS system reset. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, install a new OCS system service kit.
15. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON and visually monitor the air bag warning
indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If
an air bag SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:
-
fail to light.
