SRS Airbag light flashing. Code reader shows B00A0 0009 code indicating a problem with the OCS / Occupancy sensor.

and causes j1772 to be unable to charge it anymore subsequently getting a charge in a pinch leads to really needing a tow truck!! B. The range on the battery drops drastically on a regular day to day drive... The other day I left for a 4.5Mile trip with 17miles on gom and by time I drove 2 miles range went down to 11miles. Before I was 1/2 way low battery indicator went off and ~1.5Miles to home very low battery kicks in. - I believe the car gom always over estimates the range to what I'm able to drive. It can never drive up to the suggested range so I must have either a bad battery or a faulty battery management module of some sorts ???
