DTC 15-3: Faulty OPDS Sensor
1. Erase the DTC memory {see page 23-261.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), 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 (see
page 23-26).
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 15-3. lf one of
these devices was used, erase the DTC, operate the
device near the seat-back, and recheck for DTCs. lf
DTC 15-3 is reset, erase it, and do not use the
device near the seat-back.

Check the connection at the OPDS sensor harness
connector and the OPDS unit connector.
Are the connections OK?
YES-Go to step 4.
NO Reconnect the OPDS sensor harness
connector, and clear the DTC.I
Replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back foam (see page
20-141, and initialize the OPDS (see page 23-27).
Erase the DTC memory, then check for DTC 15-3.

The SRS lndicator Stays On When ln "SCS"
Menu Method
NOTE:. lf you cannot retrieve DTCSwith the PGM Tester
using the SRS menu method. retrieve the flash codeswith the Tester in SCS mode {see page 23-24|,.. A new SRS unit must sense the entire system is OK
before completing its initial self-test. The most
common cause of an incomplete self-test is the
failure to replace all deployed parts after a collision,
in particular, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckletenstoners.. An incomplete self-test prevents the PGM Tester fromretrieving DTCS, although flash codes are available in
the Tester's SCS mode.
1 . Erase the DTC memory using the MES connector(see page 23-26).
Does the SRS indicator go off while you are
erasing the DTC memory?
