Normal Operation - Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) continuously monitors the input voltage for correct operation. If the OCSM  detects input voltage below 8 volts, it stores DTC U3003:16 in memory. If the OCSM  detects input voltage above 17.2 volts, it stores DTC U3003:17 in memory. If the OCSM  sets DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17, it sends a fault message to the RCM  . The RCM  then sends a message to the IPC  to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

DTC DESCRIPTION

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
  • U3003:16 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
If the RCM  detects voltage below 9.5 volts with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) fault, it sets this DTC.
  • U3003:17 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
If the RCM  detects voltage above 16 volts with a SRS  fault or above 20 volts without a SRS  fault, it sets this DTC.
  • U3003:16 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
If the OCSM  detects voltage below 9.6 volts when another Occupant Classification System (OCS) fault is present, or if the OCSM  detects voltage below 7.6 volts, regardless of fault status, it sets this DTC.
  • U3003:17 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
If the OCSM  detects voltage above 16.5 volts when another Occupant Classification System (OCS) fault is present, or if the OCSM  detects voltage above 18.5 volts, regardless of fault status, it sets this DTC.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
