Did you know that Honda has a Job Aid about supplement restraints system (SRS) troubleshooting and repair information?
The Honda SRS Occupant Detection System (ODS) Troubleshooting & Repair Information and Acura SRS Occupant Detection System (ODS) Troubleshooting & Repair Information Job Aid documents apply to all 2000 and newer vehicles.
They explain the operation and repair procedures for the occupant position detection system (OPDS), occupant detection system (ODS), and front passenger's seat weight sensor (SWS). While these Job Aids are a general document, they have detailed information on the setup and process for troubleshooting, initializing, and calibrating the front passenger seat sensors after a collision.
These Job Aids have a table on the first page that acts as a quick guide to direct you to different portions of the Job Aid depending on what problems the systems have or what operations you are looking for. The sections are:
- Vehicle & Front Passenger's Seat Set-Up
- ODS Seat Weight Sensor & HDS Inspections
- ODS Repair Summary Table
- ODS/OPDS/SWS Doesn't Initialize
- ODS Terminology & System Evolution
Section 3 contains a table that lists specific repairs that may affect the ODS and what checks and initializations need to be performed following those repairs.
The Job Aids can be found by searching for occupant detection on techinfo.honda.com. You can also view Honda Position Statements and Acura Position Statements on the RTS website.
