Test 9A: Cluster Message Mismatch

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 CLUSTER MESSAGE MISMATCH is active or stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If CLUSTER MESSAGE MISMATCH is an active DTC, go to next step. If CLUSTER MESSAGE MISMATCH is a stored DTC, go to TEST 1B: REPAIRING STORED CODES  .
  2. Using DRBIII, read MIC DTCs. If DRBIII displays active MIC DTCs, diagnose instrument cluster malfunction. If DRBIII does not display active MIC DTCs, go to next step.
  3. On DRBIII, select PASSIVE RESTRAINTS, AIRBAG, MONITOR DISPLAY and WARNING LIGHT STATUS. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Turn ignition switch to ON position and observe DRBIII screen after 6-8 seconds. If DRBIII LIGHT ON BY MIC and LIGHT REQ BY ORC monitors match, replace Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). See OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If DRBIII LIGHT ON BY MIC and LIGHT REQ BY ORC monitors do not match, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Perform body verification test. See TEST VER-2: BODY VERIFICATION TEST  .
