Note!
If using a printed version of this TNN, first check for the latest online version.

Description:





Beginning MY 2008, the PAD (Passenger Airbag Disabled) lamp illuminates when the front passenger seat is unoccupied (See Figure 2). Earlier vehicles, within the above range, that receive a total CAN or SRS reload or upgrade will receive the new logic. Some customers may misinterpret the new logic as a fault.

Service:

An actual SRS/OWS faults will always be accompanied by the presence of an SRS DTC and a DIM message stating either "SRS service urgent" or "SRS service required."

When fault tracing SRS/OWS complaints regarding PAD lamp operation, please make sure they are not due to the logic change described above. If they are, do not replace any parts. Instead, inform the customer about the logic change due to the software upgrade.
