B1BA8
B1BA8-OCM SYSTEM OUT OF CALIBRATION/NOT CALIBRATED
Theory of Operation
When powered, the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) monitors the memory location containing the calibration flag. The calibration flag will be set (not calibrated) if the on board diagnostics determines that the OCM has not been calibrated, a new OCM is installed, the OCM Rezero Test failed, or the OCM Rezero process was not successfully completed.
- When Monitored:
When powered, the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) monitors the memory location containing the calibration flag.
- Set Condition:
This DTC will set if a new OCM is installed, or the OCM Rezero process was not successfully completed.
