Seat Wire Harness Routing

  1. 1.

    For correct front passenger seat cushion wire harness routing with Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor bolts, refer to the following views.
    • Match the numbers in the wire harness view to the numbers in the retainer and connector location views and attach accordingly.
    • Wire harness retainers and electrical connectors are called out in assembly order.

  1. 2.

    NOTE: Illustration shows the OCS weight sensor bolts in their installed position with the seat in the vehicle (arrow indicates front).

    Verify the correct passenger seat OCS weight sensor bolt electrical connector positions using the illustration.

    • For correct identification and placement of the 2 OCS weight sensor bolt electrical connectors, use the wire colors identified in Supplemental Restraint System . Connecting the incorrect connector to a sensor will cause DTCs to set and will result in an unsuccessful OCS system reset.
