The occupant detection control module is installed under the passenger's seat and detects the presence/absence and physique of the person sitting in the passenger's seat based on signals sent from the loadcell sensors to send signals to the airbag control module.

If there is any abnormality in the occupant detection control module, the airbag warning light in the combination meter illuminates to warn the driver of system abnormality. Diagnostic trouble codes can be read by using a Subaru select monitor.
