Occupancy Sensing System - Activation Procedure - Service Action T836

Issue:

Coinciding with the introduction of the 2001 MY XK Series, all vehicles were equipped from production with the Advanced Restraint Technology System (ARTS) that incorporated components and functionality that could be enabled at a later date once the system software was fully developed. This allows owners of these earlier vehicles to benefit by having this system retrofitted with specific components/software to update this system to include occupant position sensing. This is achieved by utilizing ultrasonic sensors already mounted in the roof console, passenger side A-post, and passenger side B-post. Once retrofitted, the occupant Sensing System now includes passenger seat weight sensing, as well as, occupant position sensing.

Action:

Activate the occupancy sensing system and replace the driver handbook on all vehicles within the VIN range of A11051 - A20744 at the next service opportunity.

To determine the necessary re-work and parts required for each vehicle, by VIN, refer to the XK procedures. Refer to Warranty Section 1 - for coupe vehicles and Section 2 - for convertible vehicles of this Service Action. The sections contain the re-work required, SRO, and part number information.

Note:
Ensure that the correct kits are ordered for coupe and convertable vehicles.
