Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Never disassemble or tamper with safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors or probe the electrical connectors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: To prevent system failure, it is necessary to carry out the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed or an OCS  system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS  system reset command.
NOTE: Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM)) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS  system components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS  system, OCS  system component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, a new OCS  system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, OCSM  and seat wiring harness) must be installed as an assembly.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
  1. Depower the SRS  . For additional information, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
  2. Remove the passenger seat. For additional information, refer to SEATING .
  3. Remove the seat backrest. For additional information, refer to SEATING .
