Leave the Occupant classification ECU connected. Disconnect the four occupant classification sensors (on the four corners of the seat). Disconnect the side airbag (yellow connector next to the OC ECU).

When you get the seat out, take some pictures of the bottom of the seat, specifically of the sensors and how they are mounted.

This is where I'm at so far

Very good. I would like to see behind the metal shield, if you can get that angle. I want to see how the sensors are mounted between the seat and the rail. (just brainstorming on how to keep the sensors, like the person in the other post did).

Looks like the metal shield is welded in place...

The sensors are attached to the rail with a torx screw from the outside, or so it seems

MGargano · 08-07-2009, 04:12 PM

It looks like you'd have to physically remove the seat from the frame to get to at least one of these screws

By meatal shield, I meant this guy (with the 060). The sensor is behind him:

That makes two of us!

These two torx screws hold the right rear sensor to the rail, but that silver arm is in the way. Also, the other 3 torx screws are covered by the body of seat, so I can't see a way to take them out.
