Basic DTC analysis according to OBD2 protocol standard.

OBD2 or On-Board Diagnostics displays messages for basic group styles. More comprehensible code composition has been standard since 2000. The DTC code consists of five characters and its composition will be shown in this video

Insight into programming

The basic unit for the operation of any computer is the bit. Logic 0 and 1 are expressed by a single bit. Diagnostics The error code is composed of 16 bits. The first two bits define one of the four basic circuits. The video will show you a comprehensive overview of the composition of the error report

Passenger Occupant Detection Sensor-Circuit Short To Ground

Cause of DTC

The Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS) is a resistive sensor that is located in the front passenger seat. This sensor is only used for passenger seatbelt reminder. The seat sensor assumes a passenger is present when a minimum of 53.5 pounds (20kg) of weight is placed in the seat. The resistance of the sensor decreases, signaling to the ORC module that a passenger is present. The ORC then transmits this information to the Instrument cluster over the CAN bus. The passenger is only reminded to buckle up if the passenger seat occupant minimum weight threshold determined by the ODS is surpassed and the seat belt buckle is still not latched. The ODS receives battery voltage and clean ground through dedicated sensor plus and minus circuits from the ORC. The ORC receives, processes, and continuously monitors (monitor rate of 500 ms) the analog signal from the ODS. The ODS component is not repairable, if determined inoperable, it would require to be replaced with a new component. The airbag warning lamp will not set for this fault.
