Diagnostic Test
- DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC NOTE:
Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
NOTE:The scan tool, SRS load tool (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool), and DVOM are required to perform the following test.
- CHECK FOR SHORTED PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSIONER (ANCHOR) 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.
- Disconnect the Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) harness connector.NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
- Connect the SRS load tool (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the load tool jumper (special tool #8443-8, Jumper, SRS Load) to the Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) harness connector.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.
- With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: B0107-11 FRONT PASSENGER PRETENSIONER (ANCHOR) - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Replace the Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
- Disconnect the Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) harness connector.
- CHECK THE (R279) PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSIONER (ANCHOR) LINE 1 CIRCUIT AND THE (R280) PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSIONER (ANCHOR) LINE 2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 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.
- Disconnect the (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the (special tool #8443-8, Jumper, SRS Load) from the Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) harness connector.
- Disconnect the ORC harness connectors.NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
NOTE:Probing of the circuit cavities at the ORC Module body harness connectors is only to be done with an approved test lead from the test lead 10159-6 (special tool #10159, Test Leads, Dedicated), or a comparable test lead to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.
- Connect the test probes to the appropriate ORC harness connector terminal(s).
- Measure the resistance of the (R279) Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) Line 1 circuit between ground and the appropriate cavity.
- Measure the resistance of the (R280) Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) Line 2 circuit between ground and the appropriate cavity.
Is the resistance below 10k Ohms on either circuit?
Yes
- Repair the Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (Anchor) circuits with resistance below 10k Ohms for a short to ground.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
No
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 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 .
- CHECKING STORED OR INTERMITTENT CODES NOTE:
Diagnose and repair all active codes before diagnosing stored codes. Refer to the DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX for a complete list of airbag system diagnostic procedures.
- With the scan tool, record and erase all Airbag System Module DTCs.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.
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring and connectors for chaffed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires, and for broken, bent, pushed out, corroded, and contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
- Reconnect all disconnected components and harness connectors.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.
- With the scan tool, monitor for active codes while performing the following:
- Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit.
- Continue the test until either a code becomes active or the problem area is isolated.
- In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting the DTC in question/causing the intermittent condition.
Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?
Yes
- Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure from the DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
No
- No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning the vehicle to the customer.
- With the scan tool, record and erase all Airbag System Module DTCs.
