DTC 86-2x (86-20 to 86-29, 86-2A to 86-2F): Faulty OPDS Seat Support Sensor

1. Erase the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures.

NOTE: Aftermarket devices (fluorescent lights, laptop computers, etc.) used near the front passenger's seat-back can interfere with the seat-back sensors and cause a false DTC 86-1x or 86-2x. If one of these devices was used, erase the DTC, operate the device near the seat-back, and recheck for DTCs. If DTC 86-1x or 86-2x is reset, erase it, and do not use the device near the seat-back.

3. Check the connection at the OPDS sensor harness connector and the OPDS unit connector.

Are the connections OK?

YES - Go to step 4.

NO - Reconnect the OPDS sensor harness connector, and clear the DTC.

4. Replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back foam, and initialize the OPDS.
5. Erase the DTC memory, then check for DTC 86-1x or 86-2x.

Is DTC 86-1x or 86-2x indicated?

YES - Replace the OPDS unit.

NO - The system is OK.
