Diagnostic Test

1. Select Active or Stored DTC.

   Is the DTC active or stored?

   ORC - ACTIVE DTC 

   • Go to step  2

   ORC - STORED DTC 

   • Go to step  5

1. Disconnect the Passenger Airbag Squib connector.
   WARNING: Do not place an intact undeployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag will propel into the air if accidentally deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
   NOTE: Check the connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
2. Connect the SRS Load Tool kit 8443A to the Passenger Airbag Squib connector.
   WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
3. With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTC's.

   Does the scan tool display: B1B0F-PASSENGER AIRBAG SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER?

   Yes 

   • Go to step  3

   No 

   • Replace the Passenger Airbag in accordance with the Service Information.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .

1. Disconnect the 8443A Load Tool from the Passenger Airbag Squib connector.
2. Disconnect the ORC connectors.
   NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
3. Connect the 8443-24 Load Tool ORC Adaptor to the ORC C2 connector.
4. Measure the resistance between the (R64) Passenger Squib 2 Line 1 circuit and the (R62) Passenger Squib 2 Line 2 circuit at the Passenger Airbag Squib connector.

   Is the resistance less than or equal to the range of 1.24 - 1.71 Ohms?

   Yes 

   • Repair the (R64) Passenger Squib 2 Line 1 circuit for a short to the (R62) Passenger Squib 2 Line 2 circuit.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .

   No 

   • Go to step  4

Repair 

• Replace the ORC in accordance with the Service Information.
• Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .

1. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTCs from all Airbag System Modules.
2. If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
   WARNING: Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
3. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
4. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
5. The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
6. Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
   WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
7. With the scan tool monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.
8. Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
9. If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
10. If only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.
11. In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question.

    Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?

    Yes 

    • Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .

    No 

    • No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
