B1BA7-OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED

B1BA7 - Occupant Classification System Verification Required:

WHEN MONITORED
With the CAN ignition status as IGN_RUN, the module tries to detect potentially damaging events and monitors the CAN Bus for the Impact messages (crash event causing one or more airbag or pretensioner to deploy) or upon detecting an Offset Event (if equipped).

SET CONDITION
This DTC will set if the module detects a potentially damaging event or the Impact messages from the CAN Bus input.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- B1BA7-OCS verification required DTC active

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM) ACTIVE DTCs:

- ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS
- IGNITION FAULTS
- BATTERY FAULT
- SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR DTCs

NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read Occupant Classification Module (OCM) DTCs.

Q: Does the scan tool display any active DTCs listed above?

YES: Diagnose and repair the DTCs. Refer to complete list of symptoms.
NO: Go To 2

2. VERIFY THAT DTC B1BA7-OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED IS ACTIVE

With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.

Q: Does the scan tool display active: B1BA7-OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED?

YES: Go To 3
NO: Go To 5

3. Perform the OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST

Verify that the passenger seat is empty.

NOTE: Failure to follow the test instructions or aborting the test will cause faults to set when performing the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. To prevent faults due to process errors: Verify That All Tests Steps That Led You Here Were Performed As Directed; Verify That The Ignition Is In Run; Wait 30 Seconds After Changing The Seat Weight Before Proceeding To Allow The System To Stabilize; Only Press Scan Tool Buttons When Directed To Do So; and Perform The Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test To Completion.

NO: - But Other DTCs Present. Diagnose and repair the DTCs. Refer to complete list of symptoms.
NO: - No Active DTCs Present. Perform the OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Occupant Classification Module (OCM) System Verification Test

4. PERFORM SENSOR TORQUE TEST

Verify that the passenger seat is empty.
Verify that all of the Seat Weight Sensor mounting screws are torqued to specification.

NOTE: Failure to follow the test instructions or aborting the test will cause faults to set when performing the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test.
