Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The occupant classification sensor (OCS) system is used to classify the front passenger seat occupant in the event of a deployable impact. Refer to Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) .

The occupant classification system module (OCSM) monitors the 4 OCS weight sensor bolts and circuity for faults. If the OCSM detects a fault with the sensor(s) or circuitry, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2290 in memory and send a message to the restraints control module (RCM). The RCM will store DTC B2290 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

Fault PIDsa Description Fault Trigger Condition
2290_0_OD and 2290_0_CM Passenger Seat OCS Sensor No. 4 Circuit Short to Battery When the occupant classification system module (OCSM) senses a short to voltage on the OCS weight sensor bolt No. 4 circuits, a fault will be indicated.
