Seat Occupant Sensor: Service Precautions
Passive Occupant Detection System Safety Precautions
• After every repair on the passenger seat in which the seat and/or backrest cover was "detached," the basic setting on passenger occupant detection system control module (J706) must be performed. Perform the basic setting using the vehicle diagnosis tester, which includes the "Guided Fault Finding".
• Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat.
• A leaking mat must be replaced (repair kit).
• Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose.
• Seat occupied recognition (repair kit) components must not fall on hard surfaces.
• Seat occupied recognition components must not come in contact with grease.
• There is the danger that the seat occupied recognition components may be damaged by sharp objects when working on the seat. It is necessary to avoid this danger.
• The mat, the fleece and various covers must be fitted to be free of folds.
• Ensure the seat upholstery and cover are positioned correctly when installing.
• Replace all of the upholstery clips and clip connectors and make sure that everything is positioned on the seat.
• System basic setting is only possible at temperatures between 32 and 104 °F (0° Celsius and +40° C).
• Make sure that no objects are placed on seat when performing basic setting.
• Using a seat cover or placing a cushion on the seat will impair the passenger occupant detection system as well as the effectiveness of the airbag system.
• Do not install any clips near the mat. This also applies to changes to the seat wiring harness.
