DTC 86-1x, 86-2x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Faulty OPDS Sensor

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES  ) and General Troubleshooting Information (see DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES)  ).
  1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS  ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

    Does the SRS indicator stay on? 

    YES  -Go to step 3.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES  . If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

    NOTE: Aftermarket devices (fluorescent lights, laptop computers, etc.) used near the front passenger's seat-back can interfere with the seat-back sensors and cause a false DTC 86-1x or 86-2x. If one of these devices was used, clear the DTC, operate the device near the seat-back, and recheck for DTCs. If DTC 86-1x or 86-2x is reset, clear it, and do not use the device near the seat-back.
  3. Check the connection at the OPDS sensor harness connector and the OPDS/ODS unit connector.

    Are the connections OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 4.

    NO  -Reconnect the OPDS sensor harness connector, and clear the DTC.

  4. Replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back foam (see FRONT SEAT RECLINE MOTOR REPLACEMENT ), and initialize the OPDS/ODS unit (see OPDS/ODS UNIT INITIALIZATION  ).
  5. Clear the DTC memory, then check for DTC 86-1x or 86-2x.

    Is DTC 86-1 x or 86-2x indicated? 

    YES  -Replace the OPDS/ODS unit (see OPDS/ODS UNIT REPLACEMENT  ).

    NO  -The system is OK.
