April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Normal Operation - Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) - Bladder System

The Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) continuously monitors the input voltage for correct operation. If the OCSM  detects input voltage below 8 volts, it will store DTC B1318 in memory. If the OCSM  detects input voltage above 18.2 volts, it will store DTC B1317 in memory. If the OCSM  sets DTC B1317 or B1318, it will send a fault message to the RCM  . The RCM  will then send a message to the IPC module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITION CHART

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
  • B1317 - Battery Voltage High
If the OCSM  detects voltage above 18.2 volts, it will set this DTC.
  • B1318 - Battery Voltage Low
If the OCSM  detects voltage below 8 volts, it will set this DTC.
  • U3003:16 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
If the RCM  detects voltage below 9.5 volts with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) fault, it will set this DTC.
  • U3003:17 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
If the RCM  detects voltage above 16 volts with a SRS  fault or above 20 volts without a SRS  fault, it will set this DTC.
  • U3003:16 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
If the OCSM  detects voltage above 17.2 volts, it will set this DTC.
  • U3003:17 - Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
If the OCSM  detects voltage below 8 volts, it will set this DTC.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
