| TEST | ACTION | APPLICABILITY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
NOTE:
Check the IPM for DTC's. If DTC's are present, go to the appropriate category and perform the DTC. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
WARNING:
TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Disconnect the Airbag Control Module harness connector.Connect the appropriate Load Tool ACM Adapter to the ACM connectorTurn the ignition on and then reconnect the Battery.Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the ORC Run Driver Circuit and the ORC Run/Start Driver Circuit at the Airbag Control Module connector.
NOTE:
One open circuit will not cause a NO RESPONSE condition. Is the test light illuminated on both circuits?
NOTE:
When reconnecting airbag system components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.

WARNING:
TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Disconnect the Airbag Control Module harness connector.Connect the appropriate Load Tool ACM Adapter to the ACM connector.Turn the ignition on and then reconnect the Battery.Use Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and black test probes.Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRB. Attach the red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.With the DRBIII® select Pep Module Tools.Select lab scope. Select Live Data.Select 12 volt square wave.Press F2 for Scope.Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again when complete.Connect the Black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the Red lead to the PCI Bus circuit in the Airbag Control Module connector.Observe the voltage display on the DRBIII® Lab Scope.Does the voltage pulse from 0 to approximately 7.5 volts?
