Initializing the OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System) Unit with Manual Mode

Special Tools Required
SCS service connector 07PAZ-0010100

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

NOTE: 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.

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the HDS to the DLC(16P) (A), and follow the Tester's prompts in the "SCS" menu to ground the SCS line.




3. Connect the SCS service connector (B) to the yellow MES 2P connector (C). Do not use a jumper wire.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. The SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector within 4 seconds after the SRS indicator went off.
6. The SRS indicator comes on again. Reconnect the SCS service connector to the MES connector within 4 seconds after the SRS indicator comes on.
7. The SRS indicator goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector within 4 seconds.
8. Watch the SRS indicator.
- If the indicator blinks two times and then stays on, the OPDS is initialized, but the DTCs need to be erased. Go to step 9, then erase the DTCs.
- If the indicator blinks two times and then goes off, the OPDS unit is initialized. Go to step 9.
- If the indicator stays on without first blinking, the OPDS is not initialized. Read the DTC. If DTC 15-1 is indicated, repeat the initialization procedure. If another DTC is indicated, go to the DTC Troubleshooting Index.




9. Turn the ignition switch off, and disconnect the HDS.

Initializing the OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System) Unit with HDS

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

NOTE: A new (uninitialized) OPDS 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 (0) and the MES connector is not shorted.




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

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