WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS) is a resistive pressure switch. The ODS closes when a pre-programmed load is placed on the seat. The ODS is used to trigger a seat belt reminder if a passenger is detected on the seat. The ODS does not affect the level of airbag deployment.
The ODS cannot be adjusted or repaired, and must be replaced if damaged or ineffective.
