Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) Rails (Weight Sensors)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Do not disassemble the occupant classification sensor (OCS) rail or tighten or loosen any of the nuts and bolts installed to the OCS rail body. Only the 8 bolts that attach the 2 OCS rails to the seat track may be removed and installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system and increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:
The illustration below is indicating the fasteners of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) rails (weight sensors) that must not be tightened or loosened. The OCS rails are installed individually as an assembly and require no adjustment.
