OCM configuration mismatch
AI status
Completed
Completed
100%
Causes
- OCM replaced and not programmed/configured for this vehicle
- Incorrect or incomplete module coding/calibration
- Software version mismatch between OCM and other control modules
- CAN communication errors or intermittent wiring faults
- Corrupted module memory or internal fault
- Previous repair where options (seat type, airbag options) were changed without updating OCM
Symptoms
- SRS / airbag warning lamp illuminated
- Passenger airbag enabled/disabled indicator may be incorrect or stay on
- DTC B1BAA stored in SRS/Body ECU
- Possible recorded passenger seat occupancy errors or no detection
What to check
- Read and record all stored DTCs and freeze frame data with a factory-level scan tool
- Confirm whether OCM (or related SRS module) was recently replaced or reprogrammed
- Verify VIN, part number and software/calibration IDs for the OCM and compare to vehicle specification
- Check CAN bus communication to OCM (bus active, no errors) and power/ground at module
- Inspect seat connectors, airbag/occupancy sensor harnesses and related grounds for damage or corrosion
- Confirm vehicle option list (seat type, passenger airbag option) matches module configuration
Signal parameters
- OCM software/coding ID (part number, calibration ID)
- OCM internal configuration flags (seat type, sensor presence, passenger airbag enable)
- CAN bus messages to/from OCM (message counters, error frames)
- Seat occupancy sensor raw values (if exposed)
- Power supply and ground voltages at OCM connector
Diagnostic algorithm
- Use a factory-level scan tool to read all related SRS/Body codes and view OCM configuration data (part number, software/cali ID, VIN). Record results.
- Ask/verify vehicle history: any seat, airbag, or module replacement or aftermarket seat modifications?
- Visually inspect connectors, wiring and grounds for the OCM and passenger seat occupancy sensors. Repair any physical issues.
- Check CAN bus health: verify OCM responds to requests, inspect for error frames or bus interruptions.
- If module software/coding does not match vehicle, reprogram/configure OCM using manufacturer diagnostic software and correct calibration file for this VIN/options.
- After programming, clear DTCs and perform system tests (occupant detection tests if available) and confirm SRS lamp extinguishes and codes do not return.
- If DTC returns after correct coding, consider replacing OCM with correct part and ensure proper programming. If intermittent communication persists, investigate wiring/CAN network or other interfering modules.
- Document changes and perform a road or functional test per manufacturer guidelines to confirm repair.
Likely causes
- OCM has been replaced and not reprogrammed to the vehicle VIN/options
- Incorrect configuration stored in OCM software (wrong calibration file)
- Faulty or intermittent CAN bus connection preventing configuration check
- Connector or wiring problem at the passenger seat/OCM harness
Fault status
Status
OCM configuration mismatch — module configuration/coding does not match vehicle specification or other networked modules. May require reprogramming or wiring/CAN repair.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
