Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion. If a new cushion heater mat is needed on the front passenger seat, an occupant
classification sensor (OCS) service kit equipped with a heater mat must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect
operation of the OCS system. Refer to Air Bag Systems for the OCS removal and installation procedure.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraint 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.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic
procedure again.
