Volkswagen Golf / Golf GTI / Golf Variant. Manual - part 382

– Unclip the clips -1- from the seat backrest and remove the

passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor -2-.

Installing

WARNING

♦ Observe the safety precautions for pyrotechnical compo‐

nents. Refer to

⇒ “1.2 Safety Precautions for Pyrotechnic Components”,

page 3

 .

♦ Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example,

connecting the connector), the person handling it must

“discharge static electricity”. This can be done by touching

the door striker pin, for example.

Caution

The new passenger occupant detection system pressure sen‐

sor should be installed in the same location as the old sensor.

Install in reverse order of removal while paying attention to the

following:
– Push the clips for the passenger occupant detection system

pressure sensor into the seat pan until they click into place.

Note

Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they

engage audibly.

WARNING

The ignition must be on when connecting the battery. If pyro‐

technic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are

not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after

connecting battery. There must not be anyone inside the ve‐

hicle when connecting the battery.

– Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition turned on.

Refer to ⇒  Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.  27 ; Battery; Bat‐

tery, Disconnecting and Connecting .

WARNING

If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected

- “indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up” - the

ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver

seat is positioned all the way back.

Note

If the Airbag Indicator Lamp - K75- signals a fault after installing,

check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again use the Ve‐

hicle Diagnostic Tester .

Overview - Passenger Occupant Detection System

Note

♦

The passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor automatically deactivates the front passenger

airbag when the front passenger seat is not occupied.

♦

The passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor and the Front Passenger Seat Heating Element

- Z8- are a shared component.

♦

This equipment is only installed on vehicles released in the USA.

♦

The components pictured can vary in form and appearance from the present vehicle. However the assembly

and functionality are identical.

1 - Wiring Harness

❑ Pay attention to the ex‐

act wire routing. Refer to

⇒ “13.2 Passenger Oc‐

cupant Detection Sys‐

tem Pressure Sensor,

Removing and Instal‐

ling”, page 180

 .

2 - Front Seat Cushion

❑ Must not be disconnec‐

ted from the passenger

occupant detection sys‐

tem pressure sensor

❑ The components are

separated from each

other; replace both com‐

ponents

❑ It is not necessary to re‐

place the Passenger

Occupant Detection

System Control Module

- J706- .

3 - Positioning Aids

❑ Positioning aids on the

passenger occupant de‐

tection system pressure

sensor

4 - Passenger Occupant De‐

tection System Pressure Sen‐

sor

❑ Must not be separated

from the front seat cush‐

ion cover

❑ The components are

separated from each

other; replace both com‐

ponents

❑ On vehicles with seat heating, the passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor and the Front

Passenger Seat Heating Element - Z8- are a shared component.

❑ It is not necessary to replace the Passenger Occupant Detection System Control Module - J706- .
❑ Removing and installing. Refer to
