Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
Occupants Classification System (OCS)
OCS determines passenger airbag deployment. It consists of a sensor and module which are in the passenger seat.
OCS monitors the pressure profile of the passenger seat and send it to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).
When the pressure from the occupant's weight is higher than a specified value, the OCS module will send an enable signal to the SDM to deploy the
passenger airbag. When the passenger airbag off symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means the suppression of deployment for the
passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag. OCS is not unit repairable so it should be replaced with an assembly of passenger seat.
NOTE: When the passenger seat assembly is replaced, be sure to confirm that the OCS operates normally as follows.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON position without pressure on the front passenger seat.
2. Check the passenger air bag off indicator in the clock display lights for about 5 sec., turned off for about 2 sec. and then comes on steady.
If the indicator comes on and off as stated in Step 2., OCS is in good condition.
