WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, never strike or drop a seat weight sensor or the passenger
side front seat assembly to which the sensors are secured as it can damage the sensors or affect their
calibration. The seat weight sensors and the passenger side front seat assembly must be handled with care
to avoid damage to the sensors. Do not sit upon or place any loads upon a passenger side front seat while
it is removed from its mounts in or outside of the vehicle. If an individual sensor is dropped or damaged,
replace the sensor with a new and unused unit. If a seat has been dropped during removal or loaded while
removed from its mounts, replace each of the seat weight sensors with new and unused units. Failure to
observe this warning could result in an accidental, incomplete, or improper passenger side front supple-
mental restraint deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before
further service.
2. Remove the passenger side front seat from the vehicle. (Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT - FRONT -
REMOVAL).
3. Remove the riser from the seat weight sensors, then remove the seat weight sensors from the seat adjuster.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/SEAT RISER - REMOVAL).
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental
restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification sys-
tem, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect
and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System
(OCS), do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or center floor console in any way. Do not use any
prior year, subsequent year, secondary or aftermarket seat trim covers. At no time should any Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) or OCS component be modified or replaced with any part except those which are
specified for the particular vehicle application in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar Parts Catalog. Failure to
observe these precautions could cause an OCS miscalibration condition, which may result in the passenger
airbag failing to deploy when required or deploying when not required.
