System Verification Required
SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED
For a complete wiring diagram refer to Diagrams/Electrical.
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.
- Set Condition:
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) will set this DTC if either the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) broadcasts the airbag deployment message on the Bus, following a complete seat replacement, or following an OCS Bladder and Cushion Kit installation.
Diagnostic Test
1. DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC
NOTE: Verify that the scan tool has the latest software update before proceeding with this test.
NOTE: Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
Turn the ignition on.
SELECT ACTIVE or STORED DTC:
ACTIVE DTC
- Go To 2
STORED DTC
- Go To 7
2. VERIFY IF AN AIRBAG, CURTAIN, OR SEAT BELT TENSIONER DEPLOYED
Turn the ignition off.
Verify if an airbag, curtain, or seat belt tensioner deployed.
Has an airbag, curtain, or seat belt tensioner deployed?
Yes
-
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
- Refer to the list of components that require inspection and replacement following an airbag, curtain, or tensioner deployment. Replace all required (per the Service Information), deployed, and damaged airbag system components.
- Perform *BELT TENSION SENSOR VERIFICATION TEST. Belt Tension Sensor Verification Test
- Perform *OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test
No
- Go To 3
3. VERIFY IF OTHER OCS DTCs ARE ACTIVE
Verify if any of the following OCS DTCs are active:
- Passenger Fluid Level Too Low
- OCM Internal 1
- OCM Data Transfer Error
- Passenger Pressure Sensor Open
- Passenger Pressure Sensor Short To Ground
- Passenger Pressure Sensor Short To Battery
- Passenger Pressure Sensor Short Together
- Vehicle Body Style Mismatch
- VIN Mismatch
Are any of these DTCs active?
Yes
- Diagnose and repair the DTC(s).
- Perform *OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test
No
- Go To 4
4. PERFORM THE OCS VERIFICATION
CAUTION: Do not perform this test step unless directed here by the previous test steps.
NOTE: The OCS Verification system test requires the use of special tool OCS Seat Weights MRL 9077.
NOTE: Verify that the vehicle's interior temperature and the passenger seat temperature are between 12.77° C (55° F) and 35° C (95° F) for at least 30 minutes before proceeding with this test.
NOTE: Active DTCs will set in the OCM until the scan tool displays the words The OCS has been Verified.
Verify that the front passenger seat is empty and the seat belt is retracted.
Turn the ignition off, wait 15 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool in OCM, select System Test and then select Verify OCS.
- Follow the directions displayed on the scan tool.
- Allow 30 seconds for the seat to stabilize after adding or removing weight from the seat before continuing with the test.
- Proceed as follows when the test is complete.
Select the result:
The OCS has been Verified
- The OCS has passed the test and the repair is complete.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test
Test Failed - No EOL Calibration
- Go To 5
Test Failed - K Allow is FF
- Go To 5
Test Failed - K Empty Count is 0
- Go To 5
Test Failed - Active DTCs Present
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then Go To 6.
Test Failed - Temperature Out of Range
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Seat Pressure Too High
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Seat Pressure Too Low
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Power Up Time Too Short
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Power Up Time Too Long
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Seat Pressure Not Stable
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Seat is Empty
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Weight Above Threshold
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
Test Failed - Weight Below Threshold
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then Go To 6.
Test Failed - Seat Occupied
- Correct the condition that caused the failure. Then, Go To 6.
5. REPLACE THE OCS BLADDER AND CUSHION KIT
WARNING: If the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and personal injury or death.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
NOTE: The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and the Passenger Seat Bladder and Cushion Kit are the only serviceable OCS components.
Repair
- Replace the OCS Bladder and Cushion Kit. Then, perform the System Verification Required test again to remove the DTC that set from making this repair.
6. PERFORM THE OCS VERIFICATION AGAIN
With the scan tool in OCS, select System Test and then select OCS Verification.
- Follow the directions displayed on the scan tool.
- Allow 30 seconds for the seat to stabilize after adding or removing weight from the seat before continuing with the test.
- Active DTCs will set in the OCM until the scan tool displays the words "The OCS has been Verified".
- Proceed as follows when the test is complete.
Select the result:
The OCS has been Verified
- The OCS has passed the test and the repair is complete.
- Perform *OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test
Test Failed
-

7. ERASE THE STORED DTC AND THEN CHECK IF DTC SETS ACTIVE
NOTE: Diagnose and repair all active codes before diagnosing stored codes.
With the scan tool, record and erase OCM DTCs.
Turn the ignition off, wait 15 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
Wait one minute before proceeding.
With the scan tool, read active DTCs.
Does the scan tool display any ACTIVE DTCs?
Yes
- Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
No
- No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning the vehicle to the customer.
