Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 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 outboard passenger seat. The OCS system is comprised of 4 OCS weight sensor bolts that are mounted to each corner of the seat track and an 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 . To deactivate or reactivate the passenger Belt-Minder® feature, refer to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES or the Owner's Literature.
