Chevrolet Trax: Passenger presence system rezeroing
Introduction
The inflatable restraints passenger presence system is a calibrated system
that requires re-zeroing or a zero
check anytime the seat cushion trim attachments have been removed or the
passenger presence system has been
replaced. The procedures below are designed to assist in the re-zeroing of the
passenger presence system.
Before you start, read these procedures carefully and completely. For further
information regarding the
passenger presence system refer to Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System
Description and Operation.
NOTE: The following procedures must be followed:
- Read this procedure carefully and completely.
- The passenger presence system will not function properly if the
passenger presence system re-zeroing
procedure is not performed.
- Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after successfully completing
the re-zeroing procedure to
ensure the system is functioning properly.
Passenger Presence System Re-zeroing Procedure
NOTE:
- Before the passenger presence system can be re-zeroed the front
passenger seat must be completely empty of all items. The presence of
any liquid or items on the front passenger seat will affect the calibration
and operation of the passenger presence system.
- DTC B0081 will set if the re-zero system test is performed with:
- An aftermarket seat heater located too close to the sensor mat
- A scan tool, laptop, or other electronic device is in the seat
- The seat is damp or wet
- An object or person is in the seat
- Verify that the temperature is between 32ºF to 100ºF before running a
re-zero procedure.
- Verify the seat is completely dry.
- Empty the front outboard passenger seat.
- Verify that all SIR and passenger presence system components, connectors,
and connector position
assurances are properly connected and mounted.
- Install a scan tool.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
NOTE:
The presence of current DTCs, except DTC B0081 11 or B0081 4B, will
prevent the passenger presence system from re-zeroing and may set
additional DTCs.
- With a scan tool, perform the Passenger Presence Sensor Learn procedure.
- If the test fails, confirm that the seat is empty and completely dry.
Perform the Passenger Presence Sensor
Learn test again. If the test fails again, verify DTC B0081 is not set as
current, if the DTC is set refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle . If the test successfully
completed, cycle the ignition
OFF.
- After the passenger presence system has been successfully re-zeroed,
perform the Diagnostic Repair
Verification .
