pant Classification Module (OCM) And Sensor
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is located
under
neath the front passenger seat. The Sensor is located
beneath the passenger seat cushion foam. Any weight on the
seat will be sensed by the Sensor. The OCM uses input from
the Sensor to determine the front passenger’s most probable
classification. The OCM communicates this information to
the ORC. The ORC uses the classification to determine
whether it should activate or deactivate the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag. In order for the OCS to operate as
designed, it is important for the front passenger to be seated
properly and properly wearing the seat belt. Properly seated
passengers are:
• Sitting upright.
• Facin
g forward.
• Sitt
ing in the center of the seat with their feet comfortably
on o
r near the floor.
• Sitting with their back against the seat back and the seat
back
in an upright position.
