B229B Description

 

The Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system is used to classify the front passenger seat occupant in the event of a deployable impact. The Occupant Classification Sensor Module (OCSM) monitors the weight sensors and circuitry for faults. If the OCSM detects an obstruction on one or all OCS weight sensors, it will store DTC B229B in memory and send a message to the restraints control module (RCM) which sends a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminates the air bag indicator.
