6. Confirm the measured weight is within the standard value. And then press "ESC".

Specification: -2.0 kg to 2.0 kg (-4.4 lbs. to 4.4 lbs.)

7. Place a 37 kg (81.57 lbs.) weight on the passenger front seat.

8. Confirm that the result of accuracy check is within the standard value.

Specification: 35-39 kg (77.16-85.98 lbs.)

5. After installing the OCS, confirm proper system operation: Turn the ignition switch ON, the SRS

indicator should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.

Telltale lamp will turn on for 4 seconds and be turned off for 3 seconds. After the 7 seconds, it shall
remain off if the OCS does not require suppression and the passenger airbag is enabled.

NOTE:



When performing the accuracy check, use a solid metal weight and
place it at the center of the seat. If the weight made from liquid is
used or the weight slides, the check result may not accurate, and
could result in unwanted fail



When the measured weight deviates from the standard value, check
again all the fastening bolts are tightened properly. And make sure
there is no interference. During the tightening, be careful not to
deform the seat rail or seat structure. If the accuracy check is still not
inside the standard value, replace the seat leg assembly.



When WCS reset operation not finished normally, replace the seat leg
assembly.

2008 RESTRAINTS

SRS Control Module - Sedona

SRS CONTROL MODULE

DESCRIPTION

The primary purpose of the SRSCM (Supplemental Restraints System Control Module) is to discriminate
between an event that warrants restraint system deployment and an event that does not. The SRSCM must
decide whether to deploy the restraint system or not. After determining that pretensioners and/or airbag
deployment is required, the SRSCM must supply sufficient power to the pretensioners and airbag igniters to
initiate deployment.

The SRSCM determines that an impact may require deployment of the pretensioners and airbags from data
obtained from impact sensors and other components in conjunction with a safing function. The SRSCM will not
be ready to detect a crash or to activate the restraint system devices until the signals in the SRSCM circuitry
stabilize. It is possible that the SRSCM could activate the safety restraint devices in approximately 2 seconds
but is guaranteed to fully function after prove-out is completed. The SRSCM must perform a diagnostic routine
and light a system readiness indicator at key-on. The system must perform a continuous diagnostic routine and
provide fault annunciation through a warning lamp indicator in the event of fault detection. A serial diagnostic
communication interface will be used to facilitate servicing of the restraint control system.
