Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: It is necessary to carry out the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.

NOTE: OCS system components [seat wiring harness, seat cushion frame, seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM)] are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion frame, seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.

NOTE: To identify between a production OCS system and an OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM electrical connector.

A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.

An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the OCSM; it cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.

The OCS system is standard equipment on all front passenger seats. For information on diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TESTS or REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
