| TEST | ACTION | APPLICABILITY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Turn the ignition on.
NOTE:
Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
NOTE:
For the purpose of this test, the AECM and ORC modules will be referred to as an ACM. SELECT ACTIVE or STORED DTC: ACM - ACTIVE DTC Go To 2 ACM - STORED DTC Go To 7
NOTE:

WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Disconnect the Passenger Airbag On - Off Switch.
NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary. Measure the resistance between PAB On - Off Switch terminals 3 and 4.Is the resistance below 14.0 ohms?Yes --> Go To 4No --> Replace the Passenger Airbag On - Off Switch in accordance with the Service Information.Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |

WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Disconnect the Airbag Control Module connector.
NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
WARNING:
IF THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS DROPPED AT ANY TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY. Measure the voltage on the Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the PAB On - Off Switch connector and ground.Is there any voltage present?Yes --> Go To 5No --> Go To 6 |
All |
| 5 | Remove the Fused Ignition Switch Output Run - Start circuit fuse. Measure the voltage on the Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit at the PAB On - Off Switch connector. Is there any voltage present? Yes --> Repair the Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit shorted to battery. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Repair the Fused ignition Switch Output Run - Start circuit shorted to the PAB Indicator Driver circuit. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |

WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
WARNING:
IF THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS DROPPED AT ANY TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.Repair
WARNING:
IF THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS DROPPED AT ANY TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED. Replace the Airbag Control Module in accordance with Service Instructions. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |

| 7 | With the DRBIII®, record and erase all DTC's from all Airbag modules. If equipped with Passenger Airbag On - Off switch, read the DTC's in all switch positions. If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Look for chaffed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem. Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY. With the DRBIII® monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.
WARNING:
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE FROM ALL AIRBAGS WHILE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING STEPS. Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component. If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop. IF only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question. Are any ACTIVE DTCs present? Yes --> Select appropriate symptom. No --> No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer. |
