Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.

Was DTC B0061:11, B0061:12, B0061:13, B0061:49 or B0061:64 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during the self-test. For DTC B0061:11, GO to A2 For DTC B0061:12, GO to A5 For DTC B0061:13, GO to A7 For DTC B0061:49, INSTALL a new OCS sensor. REFER to: Occupant Classification System (OCS) Sensor (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Removal and Installation). GO to A13 For DTC B0061:64, GO to A9

No

This is an intermittent fault when present as a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) only. GO to A12

A2 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS)

NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the OCSM by inducing a different fault condition. If the fault reported changes, this indicates the OCSM is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault. Ignition OFF. Disconnect Passenger Safety Belt Buckle C3238. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test. DIAGNOSTIC TIP: When viewing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) with the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) disconnected, an open circuit fault is normally retrieved. The Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) shares a connector with the passenger safety belt buckle switch, and a passenger safety belt buckle switch circuit fault will also be present in the RCM.

Was DTC B0061:11 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

GO to A3

No

INSTALL a new front passenger safety belt buckle. REFER to: Front Seatbelt Buckle (501-20A Seatbelt Systems, Removal and Installation). GO to A13
