Pinpoint Test A : B0061:11, B0061:12, B0061:13, B0061:1C And B0061:49

NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE: Only disconnect or reconnect SRS components when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS.
NOTE: Always make sure the correct SRS component is being installed. Parts released for other vehicles may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. Check the part number listed to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

A1 RETRIEVE OCSM (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

WARNING: Before beginning any service procedure in this service information, refer to Safety Warnings in GENERAL INFORMATION (HYBRID/ENERGI) . Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

REFER to: Pyrotechnic Device Health and Safety Precautions .

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.

Was DTC B0061:11, B0061:12, B0061:13, B0061:1C or B0061:49 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during the self-test. For DTC B0061:11, GO to A2. For DTC B0061:12, GO to A5. For DTC B0061:13, GO to A8. For DTC B0061:1C, GO to A10. For DTC B0061:49, INSTALL a new OCS sensor. Refer to: Occupant Classification System (OCS) Sensor . Refer to: Occupant Classification System (OCS) Sensor . GO to A14.

No	This is an intermittent fault when present as a CMDTC only. GO to A13

A2 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS)

WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the OCSM by inducing a different fault condition. If the fault reported changes, this indicates the OCSM is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Passenger Seatbelt Buckle C3738 .
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.
- DIAGNOSTIC TIP: When viewing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) with the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) disconnected, an open circuit fault is normally retrieved. The Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) shares a connector with the passenger seatbelt buckle switch and, as a result, a passenger seatbelt buckle switch circuit fault will also be present in the RCM.
Was DTC B0061:11 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes GO to A3

No INSTALL a new front passenger seatbelt buckle. Refer to: Front Seatbelt Buckle . GO to A14

A3 CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND OR A SHORT TOGETHER

WARNING: Turn the ignition OFF and wait one minute to deplete the backup power supply. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.

Ignition OFF.

NOTE: Make sure all OCS components, SRS electrical connectors and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be recorded.

Ignition OFF.

Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS component:
- inspect connector(s) (including any inline connectors) for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
- inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
- repair any concerns found. Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES (HYBRID/ENERGI) for schematic and connector information.

Connect OCSM C3285 (if previously disconnected).

Connect Passenger Seatbelt Buckle C3738 (if previously disconnected).

If previously directed to disconnect Passenger Side Airbag (Inline) C3133 , depower the SRS. Refer to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering .

Connect Passenger Side Airbag (Inline) C3206 .

If previously directed to depower the SRS, repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering .

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.

Was the original DTC retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions.

Refer to: Occupant Classification System (OCS) Sensor . GO to A14.

No	In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to A13.

A13 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect Passenger Seatbelt Buckle C3738 .
- inspect connector(s) (including any inline connectors) for loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
- inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
- repair any concerns found. Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES (HYBRID/ENERGI) for schematic and connector information.

Connect Passenger Seatbelt Buckle C3738 .

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform OCSM self-test.

Was DTC B0061:11, B0061:12, B0061:13, B0061:1A or B0061:1C retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes	The fault condition is now present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during the self-test. For DTC B0061:11 or B0061:1A, GO to A2. For DTC B0061:12, GO to A5. For DTC B0061:13, GO to A8. For DTC B0061:1C, GO to A10.

CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition frequently. ACTIVATE other system in the same wire harness.
