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. 

Does the scan tool display active B00B5-13-DRIVER TRACK POSITION SENSOR - CIRCUIT OPEN?

Yes 

• Go To  3

No 

• Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST .

1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the driver seat harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.

   Are any of these conditions present?

   Yes 

   NOTE:

   Do not attempt to repair the passenger seat harness. Replace the passenger seat harness if any of these conditions exist.

   • Replace the driver seat harness according to the Service Information.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

   No 

   • Go To  4

1. Verify the driver seat harness is routed correctly.

   Is the driver seat harness routed correctly?

   Yes 

   • Go To  5

   No 

   • Reroute the driver seat harness as necessary.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

1. Disconnect the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor harness connector.
2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Wait two minutes, then using a scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

   Does the scan tool display: B00B5-13-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR - CIRCUIT OPEN?

   No 

   • Go To  6

   Yes 

   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 seat track position sensor according to the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, SEAT TRACK POSITION, REMOVAL .
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

1. Disconnect the ORC harness connector.
2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Measure the voltage of the (R261) driver seat position sensor data circuit between the driver seat track position sensor harness connector and ground.
5. Measure the voltage of the (R263) Driver Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit between the driver seat track position harness connector and ground.

   Is the voltage above 0.2 of a Volt for either circuit?

   Yes 

   NOTE:

   Do not attempt to repair the driver seat harness. Replace the driver seat harness if any of these conditions exist.

   WARNING:

   To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

   • Replace the driver seat harness according to the Service Information.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

1. Measure the resistance between the (R659) driver seat position sensor data circuit and the (R263) Driver Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit in the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor harness connector.

   Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?

   Yes 

   NOTE:

   Do not attempt to repair the seat harness. Replace the seat harness if any of these conditions exist.

   • Replace the driver seat harness according to the Service Information.
   • Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .

   No 

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