Liberty 4WD L4-2.4L DOHC VIN 1 (2005)
-
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS),
ONLY THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM) AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BLADDER AND CUSHION SERVICE KIT
ARE THE ONLY PARTS SERVICED.
-
IF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE IS DROPPED AT ANY TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.TO AVOID
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS), ONLY THE
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM) AND THE SEAT CUSHION TRIM MAY BE SERVICED SEPARATELY. ALL OTHER
COMPONENTS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY MUST BE SERVICED ONLY AS A COMPLETE
FACTORY-CALIBRATED, ASSEMBLED AND TAMPER-EVIDENT SERVICE REPLACEMENT PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE
INCLUDES THE FRAME, SPRINGS, PAD, BLADDER AND PRESSURE SENSOR, FOAM, WIRING AND A CALIBRATED OCM. WHEN
INSTALLING THIS PACKAGE ALWAYS REPLACE ALL OF THE EXISTING COMPONENTS WITH THE NEW COMPONENTS AS A
UNIT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SEPARATE OR DISCONNECT ANY OF THE NEW OCS COMPONENTS IN THE SERVICE
REPLACEMENT PACKAGE FROM EACH OTHER, AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUSE ANY OF THE REPLACED COMPONENTS IN
THIS OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE
PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WHEN REQUIRED, OR IN PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN NOT REQUIRED.
SPECIAL TOOLS
Occupant Classification Seat Weights
Some airbag diagnostic test use special tools, airbag load tools, 8310 and 8443 for testing squib circuits. The load tools contain fixed resistive loads,
jumpers and adapters. The fixed loads are connected to cables and mounted in a storage case. The cables can be directly connected to some airbag
system connectors. Jumpers are used to convert the load tool cable connectors to the other airbag system connectors. The adapters are connected to the
module harness connector to open shorting clips and protect the connector terminal during testing. When using the load tool follow all of the safety
procedures in the service information for disconnecting airbag system components. Inspect the wiring, connector and terminals for damage or
misalignment. Substitute the airbag load tool in place of an Driver or Passenger Airbag, curtain airbag, clockspring, or seat belt tensioner (use a jumper if
needed). Then follow all of the safety procedures in the service information for connecting airbag system components. Read the module active DTC's. If
the module reports NO ACTIVE DTC's the defective component has been removed from the system and should be replaced. If the DTC is still active,
continue this process until all component in the circuit have been tested. Then disconnect the module connector and connect the matching adapter to the
module connector. With all airbags disconnected and the adapter installed the squib wiring can be tested for open and shorted conditions.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Airbag diagnostic trouble codes consist of active and stored codes. If more than one code exists, diagnostic priority should be given to the active codes.
Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by following a specific testing procedure. The diagnostic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions for
determining the cause of the trouble codes. It is not necessary to perform all of the tests in this book to diagnose an individual code. Always begin by
reading the diagnostic trouble codes with the DRBIII(R). This will direct you to the specific test(s) that must be performed. In certain test procedures
within this manual, diagnostic trouble codes are used as a diagnostic tool.
ACTIVE CODES
The code becomes active as soon as the malfunction is detected or key-on, whichever occurs first. An active trouble code indicates an on-going
malfunction. This means that the defect is currently there every time the airbag control module checks that circuit or component. It is impossible to erase
an active code. Active diagnostic trouble codes for the airbag system are not permanent and will change the moment the reason for the code is corrected.
With the exception of the warning lamp trouble codes or malfunctions, when a malfunction is detected, the airbag lamp remains lit for a minimum of 12
seconds or as long as the malfunction is present.
STORED CODES
Airbag codes are automatically stored in the ACM's memory as soon as the malfunction is detected. A stored code indicates there was an active code
present at some time. When a trouble code occurs, the airbag warning indicator illuminates for 12 seconds minimum (even if the problem existed for less
than 12 seconds). Once the code is no longer active, the time in minutes it was active, and the number of times the ignition has been cycled since the
