turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
The ORC continually monitors the occupant classification messages from the OCM and, on club cab models only, the multiplexed input from the
passenger airbag on/off switch. The ORC uses these inputs to decide whether the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits should be
activated or deactivated. Note that there may be several seconds of delay between changes in the detected occupant status and passenger airbag on/off
indications. This is a programmed feature of the OCM used to prevent a flashing indicator condition resulting from the normal shifting of occupant
weight on the passenger seat cushion. The ORC then provides the proper control output to turn the passenger airbag on/off indicator on or off.
The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. For proper diagnosis of the OCM, the ORC, the CAN data bus, the
passenger airbag on/off switch or the electronic message inputs to the ORC
that control the passenger airbag on/off indicator, a diagnostic scan tool is required.
