Normal Operation
The occupant classification sensor (OCS) system is used to classify the front passenger seat occupant in the event of a deployable impact.

The OCSM monitors the 2 OCS rails (weight sensors) and circuitry for faults. If the OCSM detects a fault with the sensor(s) or circuitry, it will store DTC B2290 in memory and send a message to the RCM which will store DTC B2290 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
