General Description

OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)

3. General Description

A: CAUTION

1) If the seat cushion cover is removed or replaced,

make sure to perform passenger detection system

adjustment after installing the seat to the vehicle.

<Ref. to OD(diag)-14, SYSTEM CALIBRATION

(REZEROING), OPERATION, Subaru Select Mon-

itor.>

Failure to do so may cause improper operation of

the occupant detection system.

2) The passenger detection system (passenger

seat only) control unit and the passenger detection

sensor are fixed to the seat cushion frame. Never

remove the passenger detection control unit or the

pressure sensor from the seat cushion frame.

3) Do not replace the seat cushion pad by itself. Al-

ways replace the seat cushion pad and frame as-

sembly as a set. The seat cushion pad and cushion

frame are adjusted as a set at the time of manufac-

ture. If cushion pads and cushion frames are com-

bined from those of other vehicles or other sets, the

passenger detection system may not operate prop-

erly.

4) If the seat cushion cover is removed, make sure

to replace the hang wire on the seat cushion side

with a new wire.

5) Never connect the battery in reverse polarity.

Occupant detection system may be destroyed in-

stantly.

6) Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the

engine is running.

A large counter electromotive force will be generat-

ed in the generator, and this voltage may damage

electronic parts such as occupant detection control

module.

7) Before disconnecting the connectors of each

sensor and control module, be sure to turn the igni-

tion switch to OFF and wait for 60 seconds or more.

Occupant detection control module may be dam-

aged.

8) Every occupant detection system-related part is

a precision part. Do not drop them.
CAUTION:

• Do not use electrical test equipment on wir-

ing harness and connector circuits of the air-

bag system.

• Be careful not to damage the airbag system

wiring harness when servicing the occupant

detection system.

• Refer to CAUTION in Airbag System when re-

pairing the occupant detection system. <Ref. to

AB(diag)-4, CAUTION, General Description.>
