ODS Unit Initialization, ODS Unit Calibration, and Seat Weight Sensor Output Check With Manual Mode
BACKGROUND
The 2006 2008 Civic Service Manual shows procedures for the occupant detection system (ODS) unit initialization, the ODS unit calibration, and the
front passenger's seat weight sensor output check after a vehicle collision These procedures are normally done by following the on-screen instructions on
the HDS Due to some software variations between the SRS unit and the ODS unit in some vehicles, when doing one of these procedures, the HDS may
indicate to do the procedure with manual mode However these manual mode procedures are not in the service manual In these cases, follow the
procedures in this bulletin to do the ODS unit initialization, the ODS unit calibration or the front passenger's seat weight sensor output check with
manual mode
NOTE
Even though these procedures are done manually, an HDS is still required.
This bulletin covers these procedures

ODS UNIT INITIALIZATION WITH MANUAL MODE
NOTE:

Adjust the front passenger's seat to its most rearward position, and adjust the seat back to a normal upright position Make sure to remove items that
are on, under, or near the seat
