OCCUPANTS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) - NORTH AMERICA VEHICLES

OCS determines passenger air bag deployment. In consists of a sensor and module which are in the passenger seat. OCS monitors the pressure profile of the passenger seat and sends it to the SDM. When the pressure from the occupants weight if higher than a specified value, the OCS module will send an enable signal to the SDM to deploy the passenger air bag.

When the passenger air bag OFF symbol is illuminated on the passenger air bag status indicator, it means the suppression of deployment for the passengers frontal air bag and side air bag. OCS is not unit repairable so it should be replaced with an assembly of the passenger seat.
