Theory Of Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 RAM 3500 HD and 2019 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) sends a test current to the SeatBelt Switch to verify the integrity of the sensor and wiring. The presence of this code indicates that any two circuits, from two or more sensors, have become shorted or "coupled" together.
