- DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read all active ORC DTCs.
Is the DTC active or stored?
ORC - ACTIVE DTC
- Go to step 2
ORC - STORED DTC
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECK FOR PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR TENSIONER CIRCUIT OPEN
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.
- Disconnect the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner 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.
- Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit 8443A and the SRS Load Tool Jumper 8443-8 (domestic) or 8443-20 (export) to the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner 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.
- With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: B1C49-1st ROW PASSENGER RETRACTOR TENSIONER CIRCUIT OPEN?
Yes
- Go to step 3
No
- Replace the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the RESTRAINT SYSTEMS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .
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.
- Disconnect the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner connector.
