Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System

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 found only on the front passenger seat. The front passenger OCS system is comprised of the following: 4 OCS weight sensor bolts that are mounted to each corner of the seat track and an occupant classification system module (OCSM) which is mounted to the electrical bracket underneath the seat cushion pan. All the components that make up the OCS system are all serviced separately. The weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat is electronically communicated to the OCSM.

The OCS system is also used for operation of the passenger Belt-Minder®. For information on the passenger Belt-Minder® feature, refer to SAFETY BELT SYSTEM . Deactivate or reactivate the passenger Belt-Minder® feature.

When the front passenger seat is removed for service, the Zero Seat Weight Test must be carried out after the installation of the front passenger seat. When an OCS system component is installed new, the System Reset must be carried out after the installation of the front passenger seat. The Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System Reset must be carried out only as instructed to do so in the Workshop Manual. For information on the Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System Reset, refer to Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero Seat Weight Test or Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset .

In the event of a deployable crash, a new passenger seat track with OCS weight sensor bolts must be installed. Refer to Occupant Classification Sensor - Manual Seat Track or Occupant Classification Sensor - Power Seat Track .
