ODS Unit Initialization
When a seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, and/or ODS unit is replaced, initialize the ODS unit by doing this procedure.
Note. A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor can cause DTC 85-71.
Scheme 38
- Clear the DTC memory, (see «CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/airbag/#srs-supplemental-restraint-system__clear-the-dtc-memory-with-the) ).
- 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.
- Make sure the ignition switch is OFF and the MES connector is not shorted.
- Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING (PART 2)»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/testing-diagnostics/#pgm-fi-system) ).
- 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.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the HDS from the DLC. NOTE: If the ODS fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back and retry. If the ODS continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit (see «ODS UNIT REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/airbag/#srs-supplemental-restraint-system__ods-unit-replacement) ).
