Diagnostic Test

1. With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs and record on the repair order.
2. Record the Environmental Data.
3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
5. With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

   Did the DTC return?

   Yes 

   • Go To  2

   No 

   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST .
   • Probing of the circuit cavities at the ORC Module body harness connectors or vehicle connectors is only to be done with a approved test lead from the test lead 10159-6 or the use of Breakout Box 8443-55 to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.

1. Disconnect the Passenger Airbag Squib harness 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 connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

2. Connect the (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) to the Passenger Airbag Squib harness connector.
3. If the vehicle is equipped with the standard key ignition, follow this ignition on warning.
   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.

4. If the vehicle is equipped with the keyless ignition, follow this ignition on warning.
   WARNING:

   Disconnect the 12-volt battery wait two minutes before proceeding, remove the ORC fuses, connect the 12-volt battery, wait two minutes before proceeding. Cycle the ignition to the On position, then reconnect the ORC fuses. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

5. With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTCs.

   Does the scan tool display: B00010-11-PASSENGER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND?

   Yes 

   • Go To  3

   No 

   • Replace the Passenger Airbag in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to AIR BAG, PASSENGER, REMOVAL .
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

1. Disconnect the (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) from the Passenger Airbag Squib harness connector.
2. Disconnect the ORC harness connectors.
   NOTE:

   Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

3. Connect the test leads to the DVOM.
4. Measure the resistance of the (R42) Passenger Squib 1 Line 2 circuit between ground and the appropriate terminal of the ORC module body harness connector.
5. Measure the resistance of the (R44) Passenger Squib 1 Line 1 circuit between ground and the appropriate terminal of the ORC module body harness connector.

   Is the resistance greater than 5K Ohms on either circuit?

   Yes 

   • Repair the Passenger Squib 1 circuits with a resistance greater than 5K Ohms for a short to ground.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

   No

Repair 

• Replace the ORC in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER, REMOVAL .
• Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

1. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTCs from all Airbag System Modules.
2. If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
   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.

3. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
4. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
5. The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
6. Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
7. If the vehicle is equipped with the standard key ignition, follow this ignition on warning.
   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.

8. If the vehicle is equipped with the keyless ignition, follow this ignition on warning.
   WARNING:

   Disconnect the 12-volt battery wait two minutes before proceeding, remove the ORC fuses, connect the 12-volt battery, wait two minutes before proceeding. Cycle the ignition to the On position, then reconnect the ORC fuses. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

9. With the scan tool monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.
   WARNING:

   Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

10. Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
11. If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
12. If only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.
13. In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question.

    Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?

    Yes 

    • Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure. Refer to DTC INDEX .

    No 

    • No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
