Mariner 2WD V6-3.0L (2008)
-
The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints 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.
All seats
1. Remove the front seat.
2. Remove the front seat cushion.
3. CAUTION: Use care when separating the seat cushion trim cover from the hook-and-loop strips or the hook-and-loop strips may be torn
from the seat cushion foam pad.
NOTE: If equipped, note heater mat wire harness routing for installation.
Release the J-clips and remove the cushion trim cover.
-
Separate the hook-and-loop strips.
4. CAUTION: Inspect the seat cushion pad and seat cushion trim cover for any foreign objects, before installing the seat cushion trim cover
to the seat cushion pad. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect
operation of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and may cause system failure.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
5. Install the front seat cushion.
6. Install the front seat. If a passenger seat has been serviced, do not prove out the SRS at this time.

7. 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.
CAUTION: 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 system 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 the carrying out the OCS system
reset process.
NOTE: If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a second attempt must be made. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, a
new OCS system service kit must be installed.
Carry out the OCS system reset active command.
8. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.
Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.

9. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key 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 SRS fault is
present, the air bag warning indicator will:
-
fail to light.
-
remain lit continuously.
-
flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON
position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be
