- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 6
- Measure the resistance of the (R263) Driver Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit between ground and the appropriate terminal of the (special tool #8443-28, SRS Load Tool Adapter).
- CHECK OPERATION OF THE DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR
- Replace the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor. Refer to SENSOR, SEAT TRACK POSITION, REMOVAL .
- Reconnect the vehicle body harness to the sensor.
- Reconnect the ORC harness connectors.
- If the vehicle is equipped with the standard key ignition, follow this ignition on warning.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.
- If the vehicle is equipped with the keyless ignition, follow this ignition on warning.WARNING:
Disconnect the 12-volt battery wait two minutes before proceeding, remove the ORC fuses, connect the 12-volt battery, wait two minutes before proceeding. Cycle the ignition to the On position, then reconnect the ORC fuses. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector - use the most current software available.
- Use the scan tool and erase all codes in the ORC.
- Perform ORC module reset. Access the Miscellaneous Function menu from the ORC ECU Overview screen on the scan tool to perform this operation.
- Wait one minute, and read active codes.
Did the active DTC B1B90-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER return?
Yes
WARNING:If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions can result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
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.
