Initializing the OPDS Unit

Initializing the OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System)

When the seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, or (and) OPDS unit assembly are replaced with a new one, initialize the OPDS unit links with the OPDS sensor by following the procedure below.

NOTE: Make sure the passenger's seat is dry, set the seat-back in the normal position, and make sure there is nothing sitting on the front passenger's seat.

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the Honda PGM Tester (A) to the DLC (16P) (B), and follow the tester's prompts in the "SCS" menu (see the Honda PGM Tester Operator's Manual).




3. Connect the SCS service connector (A) to the MES connector (2P) (B). Do not use a jumper wire.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. The SRS indicator light comes on for about 6 seconds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector within 4 seconds after the SRS indicator light went off.
6. The SRS indicator light comes on again. Reconnect the SCS service connector to the MES connector within 4 seconds after the SRS indicator light comes on.
7. The SRS indicator light goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector within 4 seconds.
8. The SRS indicator light indicates that the OPDS unit is initialized by blinking 2 times, then goes off. If the light doesn't blink 2 times and stay on, repeat this procedure beginning with step 1.
If the light stays on after blinking 2 times, read the DTC and proceed with troubleshooting procedures.




9. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for 10 seconds. Disconnect the Honda PGM Tester from the DLC (16P).
Turn the ignition switch ON (II) again after the procedure. The SRS indicator light comes on for about 6 seconds and goes off. If the SRS indicator light doesn't come on again after 30 seconds, the initialization of the OPDS unit is complete and the system is OK.
