Disassembly and Assembly: Notes

NOTE: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the Occupant Classification System (OCS) system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new cushion cover is installed or an OCS service kit is installed.
NOTE: Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion, it is not serviceable separately. If a new cushion heater mat is needed on the front passenger seat, an Occupant Classification System (OCS) service kit equipped with a heater mat must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for the OCS removal and installation.
NOTE: Occupant Classification System (OCS) 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 components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS, OCS component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, a new OCS service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.
NOTE: For component identification and locations, REFER to Seat - Exploded View, Front .
