Occupant Classification Module (OCM) And
Sensor
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM)
is located underneath the front passenger
seat. The Sensor is located beneath the pas-
senger 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 classifica-
tion. The OCM communicates this informa-
tion to the ORC. The ORC uses the classifi-
cation to determine whether it should
activate or deactivate the Passenger Ad-
vanced 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.
• Facing forward.
• Sitting in the center of the seat with their
feet comfortably on or near the floor.
• Sitting with their back against the seat back
and the seat back in an upright position.
The OCS may deactivate the deployment of
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the
OCS estimates that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied or
has very light objects in it.
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a
rear-facing child restraint.
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a
child, including a child seated in a forward-
facing child restraint or booster seat.
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a
small passenger, including a child or small
adult.
• The front passenger is not properly seated
or his or her weight is taken off of the seat
for a period of time.
