Taurus X FWD V6-3.5L (2008)
CAUTION: 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.
NOTE:
-
Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system
module [OCSM]) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If a
new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, a new OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder
with pressure sensor and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.
-
To identify between a production OCS system and an OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM electrical connector. A production OCS system
allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector. An OCS system service kit has the OCSM electrical connector glued to the OCSM, it
cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
-
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.
-
The memory seat track position sensors are integral to the memory seat track motors. The memory seat track motor electrical connectors will
connect to a seat track without the memory option. Make sure the correct seat track is being installed.
