Passenger Presence System Preload System Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Empty the front outboard passenger seat (this system is susceptible to conductive material).
  2. With the scan tool, perform the Preload Passenger Presence Detection System procedure.
  3. Using the scan tool, check for DTC 1071 in history. If the test fails or DTC 1072 is current, confirm that there is no conductive material on the seat. If the test fails again, for heated seats, ensure that the sensor pad is on top of the heater element. Once the test successfully completes, cycle the ignition OFF.
  4. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle after successfully completing the preload test procedure to ensure the system is functioning properly.
