Diagnostic Test
- 1) TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.
NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.With the scan tool, select ECU view.
NOTE: A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module?
Yes
- Go To step 2).
No
- The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
- 2) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
Disconnect the Occupant Restraint Controller Module C1-A harness connector.
Connect the appropriate Load Tool ACM Adapter to the ORC connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the ground circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To step 3).
No
- Repair the ground circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 3) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED NOTE: Check the Ignition Switch for any ignition related DTCs before proceeding. If set. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To step 4).
No
- Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for an open or short.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 4) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN/START) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN/START) circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To step 5).
No
- Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN/START) circuit for an open or short.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 5) CAN B BUS CIRCUITS OPEN WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller 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.NOTE: One open circuit will not cause this condition.
Measure the voltage between the CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.
Measure the voltage between the CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.
Is there any voltage present on either circuit?
Yes
- Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Repair the CAN B Bus circuits for an open. Inspect the connector for damage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
