Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks the occupant classification sensor (OCS) circuits for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the OCS circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2290 in memory and flash either lamp fault code (LFC) 16 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

The OCS system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The 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.

Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
- low resistance.
- high resistance or circuit open.
- circuit short to battery.
- circuit short to ground.

Possible Causes
An occupant classification sensor (OCS) circuit fault can be caused by:
- wiring, terminals, or connectors.
- a faulty OCS system.
- a faulted RCM.
