OPDS Sensor Initialization

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

Note. Before initializing the OPDS sensor, clear the DTCs. Before initializing the OPDS sensor, make sure the battery is fully charged. A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor (DTC 86-1x 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. Make sure all components of the front passenger's seat are correctly installed. Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat, including aftermarket seat covers or mats. Make sure there is nothing in the front passenger's seat-back pocket. Dehumidify inside of the vehicle with A/C.

  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. '09-11 models: Make sure the MES connector is not shorted.
  5. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  7. 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»(ref-336453-S21745645342009072700000) ).
  8. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then INITIALIZATION. In the INITIALIZATION Menu, select OPDS Initialization. Follow the prompts until the OPDS sensor initialization has been completed.
  9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and wait for 10 seconds.
  10. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.

Note. If the ODS system fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back cover (see FRONT SEAT-BACK COVER REPLACEMENT ) and retry. If the ODS unit continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit (see ODS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
