Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:- When installing a seat side air bag module or a seat side thorax air bag module always make sure the correct module is being installed. Seat side air bag modules and seat side thorax air bag modules are not interchangeable. The electrical connectors are different between the modules. DO NOT damage or alter the electrical connectors.
- If installing only the front passenger seat cushion trim cover, the seat occupant classification sensor (OCS) must be rezeroed.
- The following precautions must be taken before rezeroing of the OCS system.
- Make sure the OCS system components are connected and no faults are present.
- Make sure the vehicle has not been exposed to temperatures below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) within four hours prior to the rezeroing process. If the vehicle has been exposed to temperatures outside the temperature limits (6-36°C), the vehicle must be exposed to and kept at a temperature within the limits for minimum of four hours.
- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before rezeroing and nothing is placed on the seat during the rezeroing process.
- Make sure a minimum five second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the rezeroing process.
- The clockspring electrical connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected to the driver air bag module. Match the electrical connector key to the keyway in the driver air bag module. Do not force the electrical connectors into the driver air bag module.
- Installing a J-nut in place of a weld nut is not a recommended repair.
