Philster Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Okay so in our Journey's is it this system that keeps setting my head restraint higher or? I set it down to the lowest height, I get and drive around and when I get out I see it is all the way up? Not used to all this technology yet.

Philster Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Anyone have a comment on this. Thanks. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brwengel Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I don't know what to say about this, my front headrest stay at whatever setting I have them at. The manual doesn't mention anything about this feature, except to say that you can raise the headrest without pressing the release, but the release must be pressed to lower the headrest. Sorry I don't have anything else for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philster Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Well, I appreciate the feedback regardless. Question, if you set your head rest down to it's lowest position yours stays in that location and does not rise? I do not think there is any sensor that knows how tall the driver is. I'm 5' 11". I'll lower mine down tonight before driving home and see if it indeed raises itself. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeiam Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I finally pulled one of the headrest out of my 2010 R/T, so now I know a little better on how these things work. The headrest does not have any high tech methods of being attached to the seats, they just use the little indents like a regular headrest to go up and down. There is a wire that runs inside the chrome tube that goes into the plastic box on the back side of the headrest, this activates the unit when you are rear ended (not sure if its explosives or a motor that pushes the padding forward). Your headrest should not go up or down automatically unless you have a loose clip and gravity allows it fall lower into the seat. On a side note, does anyone know how to bypass the active headrest sensor so the airbag light doesn't come on? I measured 2.5 ohm resistance, so I will try a resistor in the plug, but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Jettlax3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jettlax3 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Did you ever find if just sticking a 2.5 ohm resistor worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
