OPDS Sensor Initialization

When you replace a seat-back cover/pad, SRS unit, and/or ODS unit, initialize the OPDS sensor with the HDS.

Note. A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor (DTC 86-1 x or 86-2x) can cause DTCs 85-71 and 85-78. If the SRS has a hard DTC 86-1x or 86-2x, troubleshoot the DTCs completely before replacing the ODS unit. Before initializing the ODS unit, make sure the battery is fully charged. Before initializing the ODS unit, clear the DTCs. Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat, including after market seat covers or mats. Make sure there is nothing in the front passenger's seat-back pocket. Keep the A/C and the heater off.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Set the seat-back in a normal position.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-351658-S38235661612009122700000) ).
  7. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then INITIALIZATION. In the INITIALIZATION Menu, select ODS Initialization. Follow the prompts until the OPDS sensor initialization has been completed.
  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK(0), then wait for 10 seconds.
  9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC. NOTE: If the ODS unit fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the seat-back cover/pad with equipped OPDS sensor (see «FRONT SEAT-BACK COVER REPLACEMENT»(ref-295047-S10234348392008081400000) ), and retry. If the ODS unit continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit (see «ODS UNIT REPLACEMENT»(ref-383937-S36463121262011021000000) ).
