July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Diagnostic Procedure

CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

PINPOINT TEST 6  THE OCSM DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK THE OCSM VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Disconnect: OCSM 0810-103.
  • Connect the battery ground cable.
  • Key in ON position.
  • Measure the voltage between the OCSM 0810-103 pin 1, circuit (W/L), harness side and ground.
  • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
Yes GO to the next step.
No VERIFY the smart junction box (SJB) fuse 46 (7.5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
2 CHECK THE OCSM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Measure the resistance between the OCSM 0810-103 pin 14, circuit (B/W), harness side and ground.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes GO to the next step.
No REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
3 CHECK THE HS-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE OCSM AND THE DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC) FOR AN OPEN
  • Measure the resistance between the OCSM 0810-103 pin 18, circuit (W/L), harness side and the DLC D-01 pin 6, circuit (W/L), harness side.
  • Measure the resistance between the OCSM 0810-103 pin 9, circuit (W), harness side and the DLC D-01 pin 14, circuit (W), harness side.
  • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
Yes GO to the next step.
No REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
4 CHECK FOR CORRECT OCSM OPERATION
  • Disconnect the OCSM connector.
  • Check for:
    • corrosion
    • damaged pins
    • pushed-out pins
  • Connect the OCSM connector and make sure it seats correctly.
  • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  • Is the concern still present? 
Yes INSTALL a new OCSM. See OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR - ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION or PINPOINT TEST 3: NO POWER IN RUN . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
