Pinpoint Test Am: DTC B2229 - Air Bag Passenger Circuit Short To Ground Loop # 2 Fault

NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the Pinpoint Test.
  1. AM1 CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND DTCs 
    WARNING: Restraint system diagnostic tools are for service only. Tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road. Failure to remove restraint system diagnostic tools could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
    WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
    WARNING: The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
    NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
    NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Retrieve/Record Continuous DTCs.
    • Was DTC B2229 retrieved during the on-demand self test? 
    • Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is still present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test. GO to  AM2.
    • No  : This is an intermittent fault. The fault condition is not present at this time. GO to  AM5.
  2. AM2 CHECK THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE 
    • Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is still present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test. GO to  AM3.
    • No  : INSTALL a new passenger air bag module. Refer to PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE . GO to  AM6.
  3. AM3 CHECK CIRCUIT 15S-JA32 (GN/YE) AND CIRCUIT 91S-JA32 (BK/YE) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND BETWEEN THE RCM AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Depower the system. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Disconnect: RCM C2041a and C2041b.
    • Disconnect: Passenger Air Bag Module Restraint System Diagnostic Tool From Passenger Air Bag Module C256b.
    • Measure the resistance between passenger air bag module C256b pin 1, circuit 15S-JA32 (GN/YE), harness side and ground; and between passenger air bag module C256b pin 2, circuit 91S-JA32 (BK/YE), harness side and ground.

    • Are the resistances greater than 1,000,000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to  AM4.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit 15S-JA32 (GN/YE) or circuit 91S-JA32 (BK/YE) GO to  AM6.
  4. AM4 CONFIRM THE RCM FAULT 
    NOTE: Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tools, sensor electrical connectors and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the on-demand self test. If not, erroneous DTCs will be recorded
    • Connect: Passenger Air Bag Module Restraint System Diagnostic Tool 418-F395 to Passenger Air Bag Module C256b.
    • Connect: RCM C2041a and C2041b.
    • Repower the system. Do not  prove out the system at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test.
    • Was DTC B2229 retrieved during the on-demand self test? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL and CONFIGURE a new RCM. Refer to RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) . GO to  AM6.
    • No  : CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found. GO to  AM6.
  5. AM5 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT 
    • Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is now present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test.

      CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault at or near the affected air bag module connector. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found.

      If an intermittent concern was  found and repaired, GO to  AM6.

      If an intermittent concern was not  found and repaired, GO to  AM3.

    • No  : CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found. GO to  AM6.
  6. AM6 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DTCs 
    • refer to the continuous DTCs recorded during Step  AM1.
    • Were any continuous DTCs retrieved during Step AM1?
