Normal Operation

The Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) monitors the pressure sensor and circuity for faults. If the OCSM detects a fault with the sensor or circuitry, it will store DTC B2290 in memory and send a message to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) which will store DTC B00A0:09 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

The Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system components are not  to be installed separately. If a new OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, a new OCS system service kit must be installed  as an assembly.

FAULT TRIGGER CONDITION CHART

Fault PIDs(1) Description Fault Trigger Condition
2290___12___OD and 2290___12___CM Passenger Seat OCS Sensor No. 1 Circuit Short to Battery When the OCSM senses a short to voltage on the bladder pressure sensor circuits, a fault will be indicated.
2290___13___OD and 2290___13___CM Passenger Seat OCS Sensor No. 1 Circuit Short to Ground When the OCSM senses a short to ground on the bladder pressure sensor circuits, a fault will be indicated.
2290___15___OD and 2290___15___CM Passenger Seat OCS Sensor No. 1 Internal Fault When the OCSM senses a internal failure with the bladder pressure sensor, a fault will be indicated.
(1) Fault PIDs that end in OD indicate an on-demand status and are associated with on-demand DTC B2290. Fault PIDs that end in CM indicate continuous memory status and are associated with continuous DTC B2290.
