The OCSM monitors each 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 RCM , which stores DTC B00A0:09 or B00A0:68 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
