Removal Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning work. Disconnect the side airbag harness 2P connector (see step 4 on page 23-32). Remove the seat assembly (see page 20-87) and seat-back cover (see page 20-92). Remove the cover (A), then disconnect the OPDS unit harness 8P and sensor connectors from the OPDS unit. Remove the two screws (B) and OPDS unit (C).

Installation Place the new OPDS unit on the seat-back frame. Tighten the two screws (A) and connect the OPDS unit harness 8P and sensor connector to the OPDS unit. Reinstall the cover. Install the seat-back cover (see page 20-92). Install the seat assembly (see page 20-87), then connect the side airbag harness 2P connector. Reconnect the battery negative cable. Set the seat-back in the normal position and make sure there is nothing sitting on the front passenger's seat. Initialise the OPDS unit (see page 23-39). After installing the OPDS unit, confirm proper system operation: Turn the ignition switch ON (II); the SRS indicator light should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off.
