ODS Unit Initialization

ODS Unit Initialization

When a seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, and/or ODS unit is replaced, initialize the ODS by doing the following procedure.

NOTE: A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty ODS sensor can cause DTC 85-71 and 85-78.

1. Clear the DTC memory. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

2. Make sure the front passenger's seat is dry. Set the seat-back in a normal position, and make sure there is nothing on the seat.

3. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0) and the MES connector is not shorted.

4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.. Testing and Inspection

7. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS then Calibration. In the Calibration Menu, select ODS INITIALIZATION. Follow the screen prompts to initialize the ODS unit.

8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
NOTE: If the ODS fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back (foam pad) and retry. If the ODS continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit. ODS Unit Replacement
