  - Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK (F945) IGNITION RUN/START CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT VOLTAGE AT THE ORC HARNESS CONNECTOR
NOTE:
Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all appropriate fuses before proceeding with this diagnostic procedure. Repair as necessary.

NOTE:
Probing of the circuit cavities at the ORC Module C1-A, C1-B, or C2-A body harness connectors is only to be done with a approved test lead from the (special tool #10159, Test Leads, Dedicated). Or a comparable test lead to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.

WARNING:

1. Disconnect the ORC harness connectors.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Using the appropriate test lead, measure the voltage of the (F945) Ignition Run/Start Control Output circuit between the ORC C1 harness connector and ground.
  Is the voltage above 6.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) in accordance with Service Information. (Refer to REMOVAL, ORC ).
  - Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, repair the (F945) Ignition Run/Start Control Output Circuit for an open or short to ground.
  - Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
