Passenger Presence System Preload Test

The passenger presence system (PPS) consists of an electronic control module, a sensor mat in the seat, a harness, and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. The passenger presence detection system transmits and receives a low-level electric field. The measured capacitance value of this field is used to determine the type of occupant sitting in the front passenger seat. If the measured capacitance is less than a calibrated value, then the passenger presence module will send a hard wire signal to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module to disable the passenger instrument panel air bag. If the measured capacitance is greater than a calibrated value, then the passenger presence module will send a serial data signal to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module to enable the passenger instrument panel air bag. The passenger presence detection system module will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by illuminating one of the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicator. If the passenger seat bottom cushion, seat bottom trim, or heater pad has been serviced, reinstalled, or removed for any reason, the procedure below will check for any preloads on the passenger presence system. A service replacement passenger presence system module does not require an unlock procedure prior to an initial preload test.

Note. Before the passenger presence system can be checked for preloads the front passenger seat must be completely empty of all items. The presence of any items on the front passenger seat will affect the calibration and operation of the passenger presence system. DTC B0081 will set if the preload system test is performed with: An aftermarket seat heater located too close to the sensor mat A scan tool, laptop, or other electronic device is in the seat The seat is damp or wet An object or person is in the seat When the preload test is perform, the instrument panel cluster and dash lights will begin illuminating at varying intensity. This is normal operation during the preload test procedure and does not indicate additional system faults. The Diagnostic Repair Verification must be performed after successfully completing the preload test procedure to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Passenger Presence System Preload System Test

  1. Empty the front outboard passenger seat (this system is susceptible to conductive material).
  2. With the scan tool, perform the Passenger Presence Sensor Learn procedure.
  3. Using the scan tool, check for DTC B0081 in history. If the test fails or DTC B0081 11 is current, confirm that the seat is empty. Perform the passenger presence sensor learn test again. If the test fails again, for heated seats, ensure that the sensor pad is on top of the heater element. Once the test successfully completes, cycle the Vehicle OFF.
  4. Perform the «Diagnostic Repair Verification»(/cadillac/elr/i-2013-2015/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-repair-verification) after successfully completing the preload test procedure to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Pedestrian Alert Sound Control Module Programming and Setup

Note. DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure or a service bulletin. If the control module is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the control module will not control all of the vehicle features properly.

Each of the following service procedures require programming or setup procedures to be performed on the telematics communication interface control module.

Communication Interface Module Replacement

Note. It is critical to use the service replacement telematics communication interface control module only in the vehicle for which it was ordered. Failure to perform the following procedures will result in a red LED, DTC(s) being set, and limited or incomplete OnStar® services. An OnStar® button press to the OnStar® call center is not required to complete the procedure. It may take up to 24 hours for OnStar® service to become fully activated after performing the procedures. Perform the following procedure only once. Repeat attempts of the procedure may result in a delay of the activation process. To fully activate an OnStar® module, both the setup and activation request procedures must be completed on all vehicles with and without an active OnStar® subscription to insure the unit has been setup properly for the vehicle it has been installed into and also to update the OnStar® with the correct unit information. To initialize the Turn-by-Turn feature, the vehicle must first be driven In open sky condition at speeds greater than 10 mph (16 kph) or more for a minimum of 5 miles (8 km) , and perform at least 2 left and 2 right 90 degree turns coming to complete stops prior to each turn. On vehicles up fitted with TTY capabilities, it is necessary to perform a power cycle of the OnStar® Interface Module (OTIM), and toggle the TTY mode after completing the telematics communication interface control module installation and setup procedures.

  1. Install EL-49642 SPS programming support tool .
  2. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select ONSU Onstar® Module Setup and Service Activation and follow the on-screen instructions.
