Test 4C: No Response From Right SIACM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2001 Dodge Caravan, 2001 Chrysler Voyager, and 2001 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Prior to performing any air bag system test, go to PRETEST INSPECTION & DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE  under DIAGNOSTICS. Perform air bag verification test after all repairs unless otherwise directed. See TEST VER-1: AIR BAG VERIFICATION TEST  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
  1. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Connect DRB to DLC. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect negative battery cable. On DRB, read DTCs. If DTCs are displayed, go to TEST 1A: IDENTIFYING SYSTEM PROBLEMS  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS and perform appropriate procedure. If DTCs are not displayed, go to next step.
  2. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Access and disconnect right SIACM connector. See SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE (SIACM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance between ground and right SIACM connector terminal No. 7 (Black wire). See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open circuit in Black wire between right SIACM connector and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  3. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect negative battery cable. Measure voltage between ground and left SIACM connector terminal No. 5 (Pink-Light Green wire). If voltage is less than 6 volts, repair open circuit in Light Green-Yellow wire. If voltage is more than 6 volts, go to next step.
  4. NOTE: Ensure there is PCI bus communications with other vehicle control modules. Diagnose and resolve any PCI bus malfunctions before proceeding to next step.
  5. Using Scope Input Cable (CH7058), connect scope input cable to DRB channel one connector. Using Cable-to-Probe Adapter (CH7062) and Red and Black test probes, connect cable-to-probe adapter and Red and Black test probes to scope input cable. On DRB select DRB STANDALONE, LAB SCOPE, LIVE DATA and 12 VOLT SQUARE WAVE. Press F2 for scope and ENTER to select channel. Press F2 and use down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 when voltage range is set. Connect Black test probe to body ground. Connect Red test probe to left SIACM connector terminal No. 4 (White-Violet wire). If voltage reading on DRB display pulses from 0-7.5 volts, replace left SIACM. If voltage reading on DRB display does not pulse from 0-7.5 volts, repair open circuit in White-Violet wire.
