WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Concorde, and 2002 Chrysler 300M. 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 TEST VER-1: AIR BAG VERIFICATION TEST  after all repairs unless otherwise directed.
  1. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DRBIII, determine if CALIBRATION MISMATCH OR VEHICLE BODY STYLE UNKNOWN is active or stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If CALIBRATION MISMATCH OR VEHICLE BODY STYLE UNKNOWN is an active DTC, go to next step. If CALIBRATION MISMATCH OR VEHICLE BODY STYLE UNKNOWN is a stored DTC, go to TEST 1B: REPAIRING STORED CODES  .
  2. Connect DRBIII to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition switch to ON position. On DRBIII, select PASSIVE RESTRAINTS, AIRBAG and SYSTEM TEST. Read system test DTCs. If DRBIII displays PCM ACTIVE ON THE BUS, go to next step. If DRBIII does not display PCM ACTIVE ON THE BUS, go to VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS  and diagnose corresponding symptom.
  3. On DRBIII, select ENGINE MISCELLANEOUS, MISC FUNCTION, and CHECK VIN. If Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) displayed on DRBIII matches VIN on vehicle ID plate, replace Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). See OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If VIN displayed on DRBIII does not match VIN on vehicle ID plate, replace PCM and using DRBIII, program PCM with correct VIN. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
