Seat Occupancy Sensor on Passanger Side?

[xcrave]

Hi guys... I have a question... I've ordered a new (used working) Occupancy Sensor...Refer diagram:

Item Number 4Now the question is:Can i just unplug ground... connect the new seat occupancy sensor...Then the light will it go off???

Not quite...you need to erase the error code stored in the memory by using any diagnostic tools available. Only then will the light goes off after replacing the seat mat sensor.

The sensor is #4 or #11?

#11 is the mat... Based on the computer... it was the Occupancy Sensor (#4) is at fault not the mat... Since it may be damage cause by not removing the ground when installing electrical ..

But if all fail after i receive my Scanner from bro Jarance, I will do a bypass so that the seat will always simulate that the seat is occupied...

Maybe even throw a switch when i do not want it to on? Hmmmm....

Then again we will just need to wait... will post a DIY for Own bypass if there is need i guess...

What scanner u use that telling u #4 is failed? I also have the airbag light on. I have the bypass unit on hand, but not dare to plug in yet.

Ebay is ur answer then... actually this is very2 easy fix (above image)

Just open the box... Buy the Resistor and just solder it together (also can send to electronic shop to help you with some tips for them)

This video show a more detail procedure... all you need is to install them to your blue and white wire (in any side there is no -ve or +ve just resistance to the circuit)
