Test 27A: No Right-Side Impact Sensor 1 Communication

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
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 NO RIGHT-SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 COMMUNICATION is active or stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If NO RIGHT-SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 COMMUNICATION is an active DTC, go to next step. If NO RIGHT-SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 COMMUNICATION is a stored DTC, go to TEST 1B: REPAIRING STORED CODES .
  2. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Access right-side impact sensor and disconnect harness connector. See SIDE IMPACT SENSOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Access Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and disconnect harness connector. See OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect negative battery cable. Measure voltage in Brown/Light Green wire between ground and harness side of right-side impact sensor connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Measure voltage in Tan/Light Green wire between ground and harness side of right-side impact sensor connector. If voltage is present in either circuit, repair short to battery in appropriate wire. If voltage is not present in both circuits, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Wait at least 2 minutes. Measure resistance in Tan/Light Green wire between ground and harness side of right-side impact sensor connector. If resistance is less than 100 k/ohms, repair Tan/Light Green wire for short to ground. If resistance is more than 100 k/ohms, go to next step.
  4. Measure resistance between Tan/Light Green wire and Brown/Light Green wire on harness side of right-side impact sensor connector. If resistance is less than 100 k/ohms, repair short between Brown/Light Green and Tan/Light Green wires. If resistance is more than 100 k/ohms, go to next step.
  5. Connect appropriate SRS load tool adapter to ORC harness connector. Measure resistance in Brown/Light Green wire between harness side of right-side impact sensor connector and ORC load tool adapter. If resistance is less than one ohm, go to next step. If resistance is more than one ohm, repair open or high resistance in Brown/Light Green wire.
  6. Measure resistance in Tan/Light Green wire between harness side of right-side impact sensor connector and ORC load tool adapter. If resistance is less than one ohm, go to next step. If resistance is more than one ohm, repair open or high resistance in Tan/Light Green wire.
  7. Replace right-side impact sensor. See SIDE IMPACT SENSOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Connect right-side impact sensor harness connector to right-side impact sensor. Remove any special tools and jumper wires, and reconnect any previously disconnected components, except battery. Using DRBIII, erase all DTCs. Turn ignition switch to OFF position and wait at least 15 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ON position and wait at least one minute. Using DRBIII, read DTCs. If DRBIII displays RIGHT-SIDE IMPACT SENSOR INTERNAL 1 as an active DTC, replace Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). See OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If DRBIII does not display RIGHT-SIDE IMPACT SENSOR INTERNAL 1 as an active DTC, repair is complete.
