Installation Instructions:
With its original manufacturer connector, the Airbag360 OCS emulator ensures a simple and error-free installation. Crucially, for safety, it simulates a "Seat Occupied" status, thereby enabling the passenger airbag
- Turn OFF the ignition. Locate and disconnect the original occupancy sensor connector (3-pronged) under the passenger seat.
- Connect the Airbag360 emulator to the original sensor plug.
- Turn ON the ignition and start the vehicle.
In most cases, the Airbag warning light will turn OFF automatically after installation.
However, in some instances, you may need to clear stored fault codes, depending on how long the malfunction was present and where the code was saved in the vehicle's memory.
We will also provide you with instructions on how to manually erase fault codes and how to disable the seatbelt reminder light that may be triggered by the occupied signal sent by the emulator.
The emulator simulates an occupied seat Therefore, the airbag will be armed, and the car will prompt you to fasten your seatbelt.
