SECTION: 501-20B

Safety Recall: Seatbelt Tension Sensor Connector Wiring
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
F-TYPE (X152)
Model Year:
VIN:

2014-2015
K00001-K19747

MARKETS:
NAS

CONDITION SUMMARY:
Safety Recall J047 supersedes Update Prior to Sale UPS8014-3b with immediate effect.
Situation: Jaguar Land Rover have identified that on certain 2014-2015 model year F-TYPE (X152) vehicles the seatbelt assembly
harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM)
may not be correctly wired. The wires are located in the incorrect terminals within the connector.
The main purpose of the OCSCM is to provide the occupant classification sensor with the occupancy status of the passenger seat. The
Restraints Control Module (RCM) uses this information and the seatbelt buckle status in the determination of the firing strategy for the
passenger restraints.
The main purpose of the STS is to ensure that if a child seat is fitted using the auto-locking seatbelt to restrain it in the passenger seat,
the tension exerted on the seatbelt tension sensor indicates that a child seat is fitted. The RCM uses this information and the OCSCM
status to determine the firing strategy for the passenger restraints. The occupant classification sensor should determine if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied, occupied by a child seat or small person, or occupied by an adult.
In the event that the seatbelt assembly harness STS is wired incorrectly, the occupant classification system will transmit a signal which
does not indicate the installation of a child seat or the presence of a small person. In the case of a child seat being fitted, the occupant
classification sensor will not disable the passenger airbag, if a small person is present in the passenger seat the Passenger Airbag
Deactivation indicator (PADi) will indicate that the seat is not occupied and the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) will not deploy if
required.
In the event of a vehicle crash the passenger side SRS may not provide the required level of occupant protection increasing the risk of
occupant injury.
Action: Retailers are required to HOLD only affected vehicles that are within your control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for
new or used vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action detailed in this Technical Bulletin. Unsold vehicles should have this
performed as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process but must have it completed prior to vehicle handover to the customer.
Affected vehicles already in the hands of customers should be updated at the next available opportunity.

PARTS:
No parts required

SPECIAL TOOLS:
