  1. WARNING: Occupant Classification System (OCS) parts are calibrated as an assembly and must only be replaced in the configuration they are sold. Never separate parts of an assembly. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
  2. WARNING: Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete, the seat and all attached components (head restraint, seat side shield, etc.) are correctly assembled, and the seat is correctly installed to the vehicle before using System Reset to rezero the seat weight. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the occupant classification system (OCS) and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
  3. NOTE: To prevent system failure, take the following precautions before carrying out the OCS reset. Make sure the voltage to the OCSM is greater than 8 volts and less than 18 volts. Make sure the OCS is not below 42.8°F (6°C) or above 96.7°F (36°C) when initiating the OCS reset process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature between 42.8°F (6°C) to 96.7°F (36°C) for a minimum of 30 minutes. Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before and during the OCS reset process. Prior to carrying out the OCS reset, make sure a minimum of 8 seconds has elapsed after cycling the ignition switch on.
  4. Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the OCS reset. Cycle the ignition switch after the OCS reset.
