Removal and Installation

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:
- 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.
- If a driver or passenger seat cushion heater mat is faulty, a new seat cushion foam pad must be installed with the heater mat. Do not reuse the original seat cushion foam pad.
- When installing an OCS system service kit equipped with heated seats, a new seat cushion heater mat must be installed. Do not reuse the OEM OCS seat cushion heater mat. The OCS system service kit does not come with a new seat cushion heater mat.
- 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 backrest.
3. Release all seat cushion trim cover-to-cushion frame retainers.

4. CAUTION: Use care when separating the seat cushion trim cover from the hook-and-loop strip, or the hook-and-loop strip can be torn from the seat cushion foam.

Separate the hook-and-loop strips, remove the hog rings and separate the cushion trim cover from the cushion foam pad.

5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
6. Install the seat.
7. Repower the SRS. If the passenger seat has been serviced, do not prove out the SRS at this time.

8. WARNING:
- Install a new occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kit as a complete assembly. Never install only part of the kit components. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
- 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, 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.
- 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 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 occupant classification sensor (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.

9. Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.

10. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.

Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to ON.

11. 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 air bag 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 might not light 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 diagnosed and repaired.

Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM using a scan tool.
