Occupant Classification Sensor: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the Occupant Classification System (OCS) reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new cover installed or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS reset.
NOTE: Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion. Install a new Occupant Classification System (OCS) service kit. Failure to follow this instruction can cause incorrect OCS operation.
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.
