Warning
Make sure 12V/LV power has been disconnected for at least 1 minute before disconnecting the electrical harness from Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) components, such as Restraint Control Module, sensors, airbags, etc. Disconnect the 12V/LV battery and the First Responder Loop. Failure to do so can result in unintended safety system behaviors. For more information on SRS precautions, see Airbag and Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Precautions.
Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
This procedure applies only to the resistive pad occupancy sensor (i.e., Seat Belt Reminder). RH front seats in North America and South Korea use the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor, which is not currently serviceable.

Remove

  1. Remove the driver seat cushion trim from the seat cushion foam. See Trim - Cushion - Driver Seat (Remove and Replace)
  2. Remove casing from harness.
  3. Heat the occupancy sensor until it reaches to 85 ℃.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Set the heat gun to 100-300℃, gently heat the surface to decrease the viscosity of the resin with a distance of approximately 40 mm.
  4. Gently tearing off the sensor while continuously heating.

Install

  1. Install a new occupancy sensor onto the new seat cushion foam pad.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Remove adhesion protection, and then attach the occupancy sensor between the indication marks on the foam pad.
  2. Route the occupancy sensor connector through the foam pad, and then install the plastic casing onto the connector harness.
  3. Install the driver seat cushion trim. See Trim - Cushion - Driver Seat (Remove and Replace)
