The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is lo-
cated beneath the front passenger seat. The OCM
classifies the occupant into categories based on the

occupant category to determ ine whether the front
passenger airbag shou ld be turned off. It also deter-
mines the rate of airbag inflation during a collision.
