Seat Occupant Sensor: Locations







Passenger Occupant Detection System Component Location Overview

The passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor (G452) automatically deactivates the front passenger airbag when the front passenger seat is not occupied.

This equipment is only installed on vehicles released in the USA and Canada

There are different versions of the front seat ("Basis", "Sport" ) and different versions of the sensor.

Removing and installing the passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor (G452) is identical on the "Basis" and "Sport" front seats.






1 Positioning aids

Positioning aids on the front seat cushion upholstery

The positioning aids must line up with the positioning aids on the passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor (G452) => [ (Item 4) Positioning aids ] before gluing.

2 Front seat cushion

must not be separated from the passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor (G452)

The components are separated from each other; replace both components

It is not necessary to replace the passenger occupant detection system control module (J706)

3 Wiring harness

Wiring harness with passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor (G452) connector

Pay attention the exact wire routing. Refer to => [ Installation ] Passenger Occupant Detection System Pressure Sensor

4 Positioning aids

Positioning aids on the passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor (G452)

Before applying the glue, make sure the positioning aids line up with the positioning aids on the front seat cushion. Refer to => [ (Item 1) Positioning aids ].

5 Seat Occupied Recognition Pressure Sensor (G452)

May not be separated from the front seat cushion cover

The components are separated from each other; replace both components.

Replace the heating element if the vehicle has seat heating.

It is not necessary to replace the passenger occupant detection system control module (J706)
