LOSS OF IGNITION RUN ONLY - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
| TEST | ACTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Turn the ignition on. Ensure the battery is fully charged.
NOTE:
For the purpose of this test, the AECM and ORC modules will be referred to as an ACM. SELECT ACTIVE:
NOTE:
When reconnecting Airbag system components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
|
| 2 | Turn the ignition off. Remove and inspect the Airbag Run circuit fuse. Is the Fuse open?
|
| 3 | Remove the Airbag Run fuse.
NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the Fused Ignition Switch Output Run circuit between the Run Fuse and ground. Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms ?
|
| 4 |
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Disconnect the Airbag Control Module connector.
NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the Fused Ignition Switch Output Run circuit between the ACM connector and ground.Is the resistance below 10K ohms ?

NOTE:
When reconnecting Airbag system components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
|
| 6 | Turn the ignition on. Measure the voltage of the Ignition Switch Output Run circuit between the Airbag Run circuit fuse and ground. Is the voltage above approximately 4.5 volts?
|
| 7 |
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Disconnect the Airbag Control Module connector.
NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary. Reinstall the airbag Run fuse.
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY. Measure the voltage of the Fused Ignition Switch Output Run circuit at the Airbag Control Module connector.Is the voltage above approximately 4.5 volts?

WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
WARNING:
