Occupant Classification Sensor: Removal

NOTE: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the Occupant Classification System (OCS) system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new cover installed or an OCS  system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS  system reset.
NOTE: An OCS  system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM). It cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
