Many newer General Motors vehicles are now supported in the Bosch CDR software for the occupant classification sensor (OCS) module. These sensors are also known as advanced occupant sensor (AOS) modules.
Bosch added support for numerous Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC models starting in software v24.3 (released Dec. 20, 2024). The 2025-25 Acura ZDX and 2024-26 Honda Prologue are also supported since those platforms were manufactured by General Motors.
Some models are supported as far back as 2020 through the current model year. Data collection is currently only supported via the DLC (data link connector) and must be done using the CDR2 software.
This is a Bosch software help file listing for a vehicle supported for OCS module data collection.
This loose OCS module sensor is from a 2025 Chevy Equinox.
Data overview
- The AOS modules only record data associated with a deployment event.
- They may contain pre-event and “at event” data.
- Recorded events cannot be overwritten or cleared by the AOS module.
- The AOS module can store up to three events.
- In addition to seat occupancy status, they can capture pre-crash speeds 30 seconds (yes thirty) prior to the event every two seconds.
The in vehicle sensor photos were taken on a 2024 Chevy Silverado EV.
The photo was taken from the rear seat looking forward. The clear tubing from the seat “bladder” runs into the back of the sensor.
This photo with the label visible was taken from the front looking rearward.
