Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation

OCS SYSTEM MODULE

Based on programmed limits, the OCS module will inform the restraints control module (RCM), via a High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN), of the necessary information. The RCM uses this information in determining if the passenger air bag module or passenger seat side air bag module is to be deployed in the event of a deployable collision.

The OCS module monitors the OCS system for faults and communicates on-demand and continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) via the data link connector (DLC) with the use of a scan tool.

The components that make up the OCS system, OCS system module, inboard OCS rail and outboard OCS rail are serviced separately.
