The pressure hose and the Seat Occupied Recognition Mat - 1 - must not be kinked under any circumstances during repairs.
- Remove the complete service kit.
Installation
• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to=> [ Restraint System Components, Safety Precautions and Testing Procedures ] Service Precautions.
• Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, connecting electrical connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.
Service kit, installing
• The hard foam insert in the cover is not part of the service kit. Reuse the insert that is already in the seat cover.
- Guide Seat Occupied Recognition Pressure Sensor (G452) and Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) from above through seat pan without disconnecting connectors.
The pressure hose and the Seat Occupied Recognition Mat - 1 - must not be kinked under any circumstances during repairs.
- Pull the cover between the seat pan and passenger occupant detection system mat - 1 - so that it is smooth and free of creases.
- Secure the Seat Occupied Recognition Mat - 1 - with the clips - 2 - and - 3 - (quantity: 2).
- Secure Seat Occupied Recognition Pressure Sensor (G452) - 4 -.
- Tighten Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) with bolts - 2 - (quantity: 2).
- Connect connector - 6 -.
- Install cover with upholstery on seat pan. Refer to => [ Seat Pan Cover and Upholstery ] Seat Pan Cover and Upholstery.
Further installation is performed in the reverse order of removal.
• Make sure the connectors are installed all the way in and are secure.
- Switch on ignition.
Connect the battery with the ignition switched on. Pyrotechnic components could deploy after connecting the battery if they were not repaired correctly. Individuals must not be inside the vehicle when connecting the battery.
- Connect battery ground cable with ignition switched on.
- If Airbag Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (K75) indicates a fault after installation, DTC memory must be checked, deleted and checked again.
- When installing a new service kit, the following program should be run under "Airbag" in guided fault finding after installing the passenger's seat:
• Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) basic setting
