The Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) monitors each Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor bolt and circuitry for faults. If the OCSM detects an upward force (obstruction) on the passenger seat for 60 seconds, it stores DTC B00A0:97 in memory and sends a message to the Restraints Control Module (RCM), which stores DTC B00A0:09 or B00A0:68 in memory and sends a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
- DTC B00A0:97 (Occupant Classification System: Component or System Operation Obstructed or Blocked) - This DTC sets if the OCSM detects a negative (upward) force on one or more OCS weight sensor bolt(s).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Foreign object placed under or contacting the passenger seat
- OCSM
