Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset

 

System Reset — Bladder OCS

 WARNING: 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 using System Reset to rezero the seat weight. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the occupant classification system (OCS) and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

NOTICE: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the OCS reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new cover installed or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS reset.

NOTICE: To prevent system failure, the following precautions must be taken before carrying out the OCS reset:

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

  1. Make sure no OCSM DTCs are present. If DTC U3000:54 is the only OCSM present, it will clear upon completion of a successful system reset. All other OCSM DTCs must be diagnosed and repaired before carrying out the OCS reset.
  1. Carry out the OCS reset.
  1. If the first system reset attempt was unsuccessful, carry out a thorough inspection of the following and repair any concerns found.
  1. Carry out a second OCS reset. If unsuccessful, install a new OCS service kit. Refer to Occupant Classification Sensor .
  1. Prove out the SRS as follows:
    With the ignition OFF, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning indicator illuminates continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turns off. If a SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:
    - fail to light.
    - remain lit continuously.
    - flash.
    The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to ON. This is the time required to complete testing of the SRS . If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime sounds in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, diagnose and repair the air bag warning indicator and any SRS faults.
  1. Clear all RCM and OCSM CMDTCs .
 

System Reset — Weight Sensor Bolt OCS

 WARNING: The following precautions must be taken before carrying out the following procedure on the front passenger seat:

Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the OCS and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

NOTE: After installation of new OCS component(s) and the completion of Inspection and Repair After a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deployment , the OCSM will have DTC B1193:00 stored in memory. In the event of a crash, DTC B1193:00 must be cleared before carrying out the OCS Reset.

  1. If a SRS deployment has occurred, carry out the following steps:
  1. If SRS deployment has NOT occurred, if the front passenger seat has been removed and/or serviced or new OCS components have been installed, proceed to Step 3 to carry out the System Reset .

NOTE: After installation of new OCS component(s), (seat track assembly or OCSM ), the OCSM will have DTC U3000:54 stored in memory. This DTC will clear after a successful System Reset.

  1. Carry out the RCM self-test. If DTC B00A0:09 or B00A0:68 is retrieved on-demand, retrieve OCSM DTCs.
  1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
  1. Prepare the passenger seat for a System Reset and make sure:
  1. Turn the ignition ON, wait 8 seconds.
  1. Carry out the OCSM System Reset.
  1. NOTE: Do not install any new OCS components at this time. OCS components should only be installed when directed to do so.

    Retrieve OCSM DTCs.
  1. Inspect all the items listed in Step 5 for causes of a unsuccessful system reset and repair as necessary. Carry out the System Reset again.
  1. If the System Reset was successful, carry out the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero Seat Weight Test .
    If the System Reset was unsuccessful, install a new passenger seat track assembly, refer to Section 501-10 .
