Occupant Detection System (Diagnostics): General Description: Caution

Never remove the occupant detection control module, occupant detection sensor and seat cushion from seat frame because the occupant detection system is integrated into seat frame as one unit.
Always perform "system calibration (Rezeroing)" when removing or removing and disassembling the passenger's seat. < Refer to SYSTEM CALIBRATION (REZEROING) , OPERATION, SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. >
Never connect the battery in reverse polarity.
- Occupant detection system may be destroyed instantly.
Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is running.
- A large counter electromotive force will be generated in the generator, and this voltage may damage electronic parts such as occupant detection control module.
Before disconnecting the connectors of each sensor and control module, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF and wait for 20 seconds or more.
- Occupant detection control module may be damaged.
Every A/C-related part is a precision part. Do not drop them.
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the A/C control panel and junction box.

CAUTION:

For airbag system, yellow-colored wiring harness and connectors are all used. Do not use the electrical test equipment on these circuits.
Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when servicing the occupant detection system.
Refer to "Airbag System" when repairing the occupant detection system. < Refer to CAUTION , General Description. >
