CAUTION: The following precautions must be taken before re-zeroing the OCS system:
• Make sure the OCS system components are connected and no faults are present.
• Make sure the vehicle has not been exposed to temperatures below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) within four hours prior to the re-zeroing process. If the vehicle has been exposed to temperatures outside the temperature limits (6-36°C [42-97°F]), the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits for a minimum of four hours.
• Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before re-zeroing and nothing is placed on the seat during the re-zeroing process.
• Make sure a minimum five second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON before the re-zeroing process.
NOTE: It is necessary to re-zero the OCS system when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed, or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out re-zeroing of the OCS system.
NOTE: When using a New Generation STAR (NGS) tester you must use the appropriate memory card with the latest update to carry out this function. To re-zero the OCS system:
• select "SERVICE BAY FUNCTIONS"
• select "RCM"
• select "SYSTEM RESET"
• select the vehicle from the menu
• view the on-screen information then press "TRIGGER"
NOTE: To re-zero the OCS system using the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS):
• select the "Toolbox" icon
• select "Body" from the menu
• select "Restraints" from the menu
• select "Seat Weight Sensor re-zero"
NOTE: If the first attempt to re-zero the OCS system is unsuccessful, a second attempt must be made.
8. The NGS screen will then display "OCS RESET: re-zero." Press "DONE" (button 8) to re-zero the OCS system. The NGS will return to the vehicle menu once re-zeroing of the OCS system is complete.

   After selecting "Seat Weight Sensor re-zero", follow the on-screen prompts to carry out re-zeroing of the OCS system.

   re-zero the occupant classification sensor.

   • With the front passenger seat empty, use a scan tool to trigger the active command and re-zero the occupant classification sensor.

9. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:

   Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:

   • fail to light.
   • remain lit continuously.
   • flash.

     The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the restraints control module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

     Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.
