2. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display active: B1B7A-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 3 - LEFT FRONT INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Go to step 9
VERIFY THAT DTC B1B7A-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 3 - LEFT FRONT INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH IS ACTIVE
WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
1. Verify that all of the Seat Weight Sensor mounting screws are torqued to specification. Refer to Body - Specifications .
  WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

3. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display active: B1B7A-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 3 - LEFT FRONT INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 4
  No
  - Go to step 9
INSPECT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS
WARNING: Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the Passenger Seat Harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
  Are any of these conditions present?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 5
VERIFY THAT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY
1. Verify that the Passenger Seat Harness is routed correctly.
  Is the Passenger Seat Harness routed correctly?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 6
  No
  - Re-route the Passenger Seat Harness as necessary.
  - Perform OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .

WARNING: Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
1. Disconnect the OCM C2 connector.
  WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
2. Measure the voltage of the (R717) LT-FT Seat Weight Sensor Signal circuit to ground.
  Is the voltage above 0.2 of a volt?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 7
CHECK (R717) LT-FT SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (R701) SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 5 VOLT CIRCUIT
