Occupant Classification System (OCS) — Front
Passenger Seat
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) is part of a Feder-
ally regulated safety system for this vehicle. It is designed to
activate or deactivate the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
depending on the occupant's seated weight. It is designed to
deactivate the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag for an
unoccupied seat and for occupants whose seated weight
classifies them in a category other than a properly seated
adult. This could be a child, teenager, or even an adult.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) Consists Of
The Following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and Sensor
located in the front passenger seat
• Passenger Air Bag Disabled (PAD) Indicator Light – an
amber light located on the overhead sports bar
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Passenger Seat Belt
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) And Sensor
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is located
underneath 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
• 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
