Detailed Description of Error B00C0

OBDII error code B00C0 is a manufacturer-specific error code that refers to a problem with the Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) ''A'' (Subfault). The Occupant Classification System is a critical safety feature designed to detect the weight and presence of a passenger in the front passenger seat. The system is used to control the deployment of the passenger airbag in the event of a crash.

The ''A'' in the error code refers to the specific sensor or circuit that is malfunctioning. A subfault indicates that there is a secondary or related issue with the sensor or circuit.

When the error code B00C0 is triggered, the vehicle''s onboard computer (OBDII) will store the code in its memory and may illuminate the dashboard warning light. In some cases, the error code may also cause the passenger airbag to be disabled or malfunction.
