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.

Note

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

WARNING

The  passenger  occupant  detection  system  pressure  sensor

-2- is permanently glued to the seat cushion -1-. It is not pos‐

sible to remove and install separately. The passenger occu‐

pant detection system pressure sensor must be replaced with

the seat cushion.
On vehicles with seat heating, the passenger occupant detec‐

tion system pressure sensor and the seat heating element are

a shared component.

– Connect the cover and seat cushion to the passenger occu‐

pant detection system pressure sensor -2-. Refer to

⇒ “1.6 Seat Pan Cover and Cushion, Separating”,

page 408

 .

– Install the seat cushion with passenger occupant detection

system pressure sensor -2- and cover on the seat frame. Refer

to

⇒ “1.4 Seat Pan Cover and Cushion, Removing and Installing”,

page 405

 .

– Route and secure the wiring harness -5- for the passenger

occupant detection system pressure sensor -2- on the seat

frame as shown.

– Connect the connector -4- on the wiring harness -5- to the

Passenger Occupant Detection System Control Module -

J706- -3-.

Note

Make sure the connector is pushed in all the way and that it engages audibly.

Installation is performed in reverse order of removal, while noting

the following:

Note

♦

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

they engage audibly.

♦

Make sure the wires are not pinched.

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- indicates a fault, check the

DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Di‐

agnostic Tester .
