OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Occupant Classification System (OCS)

INFOID:0000000004215165

The occupant classification system (OCS) identifies if a child or child seat is present in the front passenger

seat. The OCS receives inputs from the occupant classification sensor mat (located inside the passenger seat

cushion assembly). Depending on classification of the passenger, the OCS control unit sends a signal to the

air bag diagnosis sensor unit. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit uses this signal and the seat belt buckle

switch RH signal to determine deployment or non deployment of the front passenger air bag module in the

event of a collision. Depending on the signals received, the air bag diagnosis sensor unit can disable the front

passenger air bag module completely.

NOTE:

In case of customer concern, CONSULT-III can be used to confirm the front passenger air bag status (readi-

ness).

Trouble Diagnosis Introduction

INFOID:0000000004215169

CAUTION:

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in

this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness con-

nectors.

• Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify SRS wiring harnesses. If a harness is damaged, replace it

with a new one.

• Keep ground connections clean.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-III. 

The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal-

function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.

The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.

The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-III are as follows:

HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR

In general, each customer feels differently about a malfunction. It is important to fully understand the symp-

toms or conditions for a customer complaint.
