Raider 4WD V6-3.7L SOHC (2007)
Seat Occupant Sensor: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
WARNING:
-
To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure
to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
-
To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), do not modify the front
passenger seat assembly or center floor console in any way. Do not use any prior year, subsequent year, secondary or aftermarket seat
trim covers. At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or OCS component be modified or replaced with any part
except those which are specified for the particular vehicle application in the Mitsubishi Parts Catalog. Failure to observe these
precautions could cause an OCS miscalibration condition, which may result in the passenger airbag failing to deploy when required or
deploying when not required.
-
To avoid personal injury or death, never strike or drop a seat weight sensor or the passenger side front seat assembly to which the sensors
are secured as it can damage the sensors or affect their calibration. The seat weight sensors and the passenger side front seat assembly
must be handled with care to avoid damage to the sensors. Do not sit upon or place any loads upon a passenger side front seat while it is
removed from its mounts in or outside of the vehicle. If an individual sensor is dropped or damaged, replace the sensor with a new and
unused unit. If a seat has been dropped during removal or loaded while removed from its mounts, replace each of the seat weight sensors
with new and unused units. Failure to observe this warning could result in an accidental, incomplete, or improper passenger side front
supplemental restraint deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
2. Remove the passenger side front seat from the vehicle.
3. Remove the seat cushion frame from the seat weight sensors, then remove the seat weight sensors from the seat adjuster. Refer to the front seat
service information for the appropriate procedures.

supplemental restraint deployment.
-
To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), any time the passenger side front
seat assembly has been removed or loosened from the vehicle for service of any vehicle component or system the Occupant Classification
System Verification Test must be performed using a diagnostic scan tool and the Occupant Classification Seat Weight special tool
following reinstallation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures. Failure to observe this warning could result in an accidental,
incomplete, or improper passenger side front supplemental restraint deployment.
1. Reinstall the seat weight sensors to the seat adjuster then the seat cushion frame to the seat weight sensors. Refer to the front seat service
information for the appropriate procedures.
2. Reinstall the passenger side front seat into the vehicle.
3. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The supplemental restraint system verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any supplemental restraint system component.
4. Following successful completion of the supplemental restraint system verification test procedure, perform the Occupant Classification System
Verification Test using a diagnostic scan tool and the Occupant Classification Seat Weight special tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
procedures.
