Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
It is necessary to carry out the OCS system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed or an OCS service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out the OCS system reset.
The OCS is standard equipment on all front passenger seats. The OCS system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) are calibrated to each other and are only repaired as an assembly. OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If installing a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad, a new OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) must be installed as an assembly. For additional information on diagnosing or servicing the OCS, refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM article.
