OPDS Unit Initialization

Initializing the ODS (Occupant Detection System) Unit

When a seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, and/or ODS unit is replaced, initialize the ODS by following the procedure.

NOTE: A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor can cause DTC 85-71.

1. Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC Memory").
2. Make sure the front passenger's seat is dry. Set the seat-back in a normal position, and make sure there is nothing on the seat.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.




4. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
6. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS. In the Adjustment Menu, select OPDS UNIT. Follow the screen prompts to initialize the OPDS.
7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.

NOTE: If the ODS system fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor and retry. If the ODS system continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit.
