Initializing Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) Unit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Acura 3.5RL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: DO NOT use a jumper wire in place of SCS short connector. Jumper wire may be difficult to connect and disconnect quickly enough.
  1. Turn ignition off. Connect SCS Short Connector (07PAZ-0010100) to service check connector. See Figure. Remove SCS short connector and connect to Memory Erase Signal (MES) connector. See Figure.
  2. Turn ignition on. SRS indicator light will come on for about 6 seconds then go off.
  3. Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS indicator light goes off. SRS indicator light will come on again.
  4. Reconnect SCS service connector to MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS indicator light comes on. SRS indicator light will go off.
  5. Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds. SRS indicator light will indicate that OPDS unit is initialized by blinking 2 times. If light doesn"t blink and stays on, repeat procedure. If light blinks 2 times and stays on, read DTC and proceed with troubleshooting. Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds.

(1) If intermittent, code could result from an internal failure of SRS unit or faulty indicator light circuit. See TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES .
(2) If intermittent, code could result from an internal failure of power supply (VB line). See TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES .
