ODS Unit Initialization
ODS Unit InitializationWhen a seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, and/or ODS unit is replaced, initialize the ODS by doing this.
NOTE: A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor can cause DTC 85-71.
1. Clear 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 LOCK (0) and the MES connector is not shorted.
4. Connect the HDS to the data line connector (DLC) (A).
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
7. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS, then Calibration. In the Calibration Menu, select ODS INITIALIZATION. Follow the screen prompts to initialize the ODS.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
NOTE: If the ODS unit fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back and retry. If the ODS unit continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit.
