The OCSM monitors OCS weight sensor bolt "D" and circuitry for faults. If the OCSM detects a fault, it stores DTC B00C3:12, B00C3:13 or B00C3:1A in memory and sends a message to the RCM , which stores DTC B00A0:09 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
DTC DESCRIPTION
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Condition |
|---|---|---|
| B00C3:12 | Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "D": Circuit Short To Battery | A fault is indicated when the OCSM measures voltage on the OCS weight sensor bolt "D" signal circuit above 4.85 volts. An open sensor return circuit also sets this DTC. |
| B00C3:13 | Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "D": Circuit Open | A fault is indicated when the OCSM measures resistance above a calibrated threshold on the OCS weight sensor bolt "D" signal circuit. |
| B00C3:1A | Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "D": Circuit Resistance Below Threshold | A fault is indicated when the OCSM measures resistance below a calibrated threshold on the OCS weight sensor bolt "D" signal circuit. |
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- OCS weight sensor bolt "D"
- OCSM
