Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    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 

  2. CHECK THE SWITCH CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Disconnect the switch connector and the related Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) connector.
      NOTE:

      Probing of the circuit cavities at the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) body harness connectors or in- line connectors with an approved test leads from the test lead kit 10159-6 to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.

    2. Check for continuity between ground and both of the switch circuits at the switch harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and either circuit?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE SWITCH CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER 
    1. Check for continuity between the switch circuits at the switch harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the switch circuits?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE SWITCH CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the switch circuits from the switch harness connector to the ORC harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms on either circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

  5. CHECK THE SWITCH CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Measure the voltage between ground and the switch circuits at the switch connector.

      Is there any voltage present on either circuit?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. REPLACE THE AFFECTED SWITCH 
    1. Replace the affected switch. Refer to BUCKLE, SEAT BELT, REMOVAL .
    2. Connect any connectors removed during testing.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Clear DTC and note if it returns.

      Did the DTC return?

      No 

      Yes
