Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 RAM Pickup and 2012 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. VERIFY ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Make sure the battery is fully charged.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active B0001-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2.

      No 

  2. CHECK DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB CIRCUITS FOR OPEN CIRCUITS

    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.

    1. Disconnect the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
      WARNING:

      Do not place an intact non-deployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag propels into the air if accidentally deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

      NOTE:

      Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

    2. Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-1, Jumpers, 2 Pin) to the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
      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 ORC DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active B0001-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3.

      No 

        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.

      • Replace the Driver Airbag in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE  and perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.
  3. CHECK THE CLOCKSPRING SQUIB CIRCUITS FOR AN 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.

    1. Disconnect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and Jumper from the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect the Clockspring C4 harness connector.
      NOTE:

      Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

      Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit and the SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-19, 4 Pin Jumper) to the Clockspring C4 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.

    3. With the scan tool, read the ORC DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active B0001-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4.

      No 

        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.

      • Replace the Clockspring in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE  and perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.
  4. CHECK (R43, R45) DRIVER SQUIB 1 CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

    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.

    1. Disconnect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the Jumper from the Clockspring C4 harness connector.
    2. Disconnect the ORC harness connectors.
      NOTE:

      Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

    3. Connect the SRS Load Tool Adapter (special tool #8443-24, 32-Way Adapter) to the ORC C2 harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (R43) Driver Squib 1 Line 2 circuit between the appropriate terminals of the Clockspring C4 harness connector and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor (special tool #8443-24, 32-Way Adapter).
    5. Measure the resistance of the (R45) Driver Squib 1 Line 1 circuit between the appropriate terminals of the Clockspring C4 harness connector and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor (special tool #8443-24, 32-Way Adapter).

      Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohms on both circuits?

      Yes 

        WARNING:

        If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
