WARNING:
- Never probe the electrical connectors on safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
- 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.
NOTE:
- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, a new OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, OCSM and seat wiring harness) must be installed as an assembly.
- To identify between a production occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the occupant classification system module (OCSM) electrical connector.
A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.
An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module, it cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
- 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.
- When installing a new OCS system service kit, refer to Air Bag Systems for the OCS removal and installation procedure.

Assembly
Passenger seat
1. 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.
CAUTION:
- Inspect the occupant classification sensor (OCS) assembly, seat cushion frame and support assembly for any foreign objects before installing the OCS assembly to the seat cushion frame. If any foreign objects are found, remove them. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect OCS system operation or failure.
- Failure to route the seat occupant sensor components through the correct seat cushion support opening can cause component failure.
- While positioning the seat cushion frame and occupant classification sensor assembly, be careful not to damage any of the components. Failure to do so can result in component failure.
NOTE: If the original equipment occupant classification sensor (OCS) is not being installed, install an OCS system service kit using all parts in the kit.
Position the OCS to the seat cushion frame.
- Route the OCS bladder hose and pressure sensor, OCSM and seat wiring harness through the seat cushion frame opening.
2. CAUTION: An occupant classification sensor (OCS) service kit will have the OCS bladder attached to the seat cushion foam pad. Do not separate the OCS bladder from the seat cushion foam pad. Failure to do so may result in component failure.
Install the 3 OCS bladder pin-type retainers to the seat cushion frame.
3. Install the OCSM.
- Slide the OCSM back on the OCSM bracket until it is fully seated and locked in past the OCSM bracket retainer.
- Install the 2 screws in the OCSM.
4. Slide the pressure sensor on the bracket until it is fully seated and locked in past the bracket retainer.
5. Install the 2 seat wiring harness routing clips to the seat cushion frame.
All seats
6. 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.

15. 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 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 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.
16. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.
Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.
All seats
17. 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 diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous RCM and occupant classification system module (OCSM) DTCs using a scan tool.
