Occupancy Detection System Setup

Occupancy detection sensors in passenger seats determine if someone is present and their weight classification, which informs how airbags deploy in the event of a collision. Sensors can drift or become inaccurate after seat repairs, replacements, or module updates.

We calibrate these sensors following OEM guidelines to ensure precise detection. This involves verifying sensor responsiveness, seat wiring integrity, and module communication. Accurate calibration is essential for multi-stage airbag systems, as deployment force can vary depending on occupant size.

Why it’s important:
Incorrectly calibrated occupancy sensors can prevent airbags from deploying when needed or cause unnecessary deployment, increasing the risk of injury. Proper setup ensures airbags deploy appropriately, protecting all occupants.
