Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs and record on the repair order.
- With the scan tool, erase ABS DTCs.WARNING:
To avoid possible serious or fatal injury, check brake capability is available before road testing.
- Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph).NOTE:
Vehicle must be driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for two minutes before set conditions are met.
- With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform ABS INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to ABS INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS CONTROLLER (ORC) INSTALLED/LOOSE OR WIRING HARNESS DAMAGE NOTE:
Occupant Restraints Controller (ORC) installation and mounting bolt torque is crucial for proper operation.
WARNING:To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Check the ORC for damaged, modified, and or bent mounting brackets.
- Check the ORC mounting bolts for a loose or over tightened condition.
- Verify the correct ORC part number matches the vehicle.
