Installation
PODS-F ECU
1.
Install the PODS-F ECU equipped seat track assembly.
(Refer to the Body group - "Seat")
2.
Install the seat cushion cover assembly.
(Refer to the Body group - "Seat")
3.
Connect the PODS-F ECU connector.
4.
Install the front passenger seat assembly.
(Refer to the Body group - "Seat")
5.
Reconnect the battery negative cable.
6.
After installing the PODS-F, confirm proper system operation :
A.
Turn the ignition switch ON the SRS indicator should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
B.
Telltale lamp will turn on for 4 seconds and be turned off for 3 seconds. After the 7 seconds, it shall remain off if the PODS-F does not require suppression and the passenger airbag is enabled.
Be sure to perform PODS-F reset with GDS after replcacing PODS-F equipped seat cushion.
PODS-F Mat
1.
Install the PODS-F Mat equipped seat cushion assembly.
(Refer to the Body group - "Seat")
2.
Install the front passenger seat assembly.
(Refer to the Body group - "Seat")
3.
Connect the PODS-F mat connector.
4.
Reconnect the battery negative cable.
5.
After installing the PODS-F, confirm proper system operation :
A.
Turn the ignition switch ON the SRS indicator should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
B.
Telltale lamp will turn on for 4 seconds and be turned off for 3 seconds. After the 7 seconds, it shall remain off if the PODS-F does not require suppression and the passenger airbag is enabled.
Be sure to perform PODS-F zeroing with GDS after replcacing PODS-F equipped seat cushion.
PODS-F Zeroing procedure
You should perform PODS-F Re-zero procedure after service or replacement about all part of the passenger seat. (Not included full seat assembly)
1.
Ignition “OFF”, connect GDS.
2.
Ignition “ON” & Engine “OFF”, select Airbag system and “PODS-F Reset” mode.

3.
The GDS will show the two PODS-F Zeroing function steps.
(1)
Erase PODS-F diagnostic codes.
(2)
PODS-F initialization.

This step must be done PODS-F re-zero, when the front passenger seat is empty.
4.
The PODS-F initialization procedure will be performed.

Erase the SRSCM diagnostic codes after completing the PODS-F zeroing.

-
Code 07 : Configuration value out of range.
-
Code 08 : Used in zero Request response only.
-
Code 09 : Algo enabled this ignition cycles.
-
Code 0A : Upper offset value created during the zero process.
-
Code 0B : Lower offset value created during the zero process.
-
Code 0C : Voltage diagnostic
-
Code 0D : The delta of QX_Freq_Low and QX_Freq_High must remain low.
-
Code 0E : Temperature is above O deg C during the zero process.
-
Code 0F : Re-read QX Final compare delta limit. (zero verify)
