Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (OCS)

CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed, or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out the OCS system reset. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system and may cause system failure.

The seat occupant classification sensor system is found only on the front passenger seat. The OCS system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. OCS system components are not to be installed separately.

If the OCS needs to be serviced, refer to Air Bag Systems.
