Abstract
A vehicle system includes a vehicle occupant seat including at least two weight sensors coupled to the seat for generating weight signals. The system further includes an electronic control unit (ECU) including an occupant classification algorithm for generating an occupant classification signal as a function of the weight signals. The electronic control unit further includes variant signal metrics for generating an error signal as a function of comparing the weight signals.
