Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Bladder Repair Kit
There are only three replaceable components in the OCS, Occupant Classification Module, Bladder Repair Kit and the Passenger Airbag OFF Indicator. The Bladder repair kit contains the OCS bladder, wire harnesses, pressure sensor (Seat Weight Sensor), module, seat cushion and other related structural and sound deadening components. The module and sensor connector must have a Tamper Evident material installed on the service kit module and sensor connectors. This material provides visible evidence that the assembly has been separated after the calibration process was completed. Do not install a Bladder Repair Kit if it appears that any of the components have been disconnected. The OCM can be replaced if the Airbag Control Module has uploaded the seat calibration into memory in a previous ignition cycle and the new OCM has a blank VIN and no calibration data stored in memory.
The Miller Special Tool, MRL-9077 and the DRBIII® are needed to successfully complete the system Verification Test. The DRBIII® may report the following errors and failure messages during the procedure.
