When Monitored and Set Condition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, and 2003 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When Monitored: With ignition on, the ORC monitors the PCI Bus for a message containing an "A" in the 4th position of the VIN. This character identifies the type of safety equipment and should match the VIN. The PCM transmits the VIN every 3.5 seconds.
Set Condition: The code will set, if the ORC detects a Side Impact Airbag Module active on the PCI Bus and the 4th character of the VIN message is not an "A".
