Diagnostic Test

CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS, AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM)
NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.
1. Turn the ignition on, then off, and then on again.
  NOTE: This DTC will take 10 minutes to mature, allow plenty of time for the code to mature between as you work through the test steps.
2. With the scan tool, read Occupant Classification Module (OCM) DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display any active DTCs relating to internal faults, ignition faults, or battery faults?
  
  Yes
  - Diagnose and repair the DTCs. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
  No
  - Go to step 2
VERIFY THAT DTC B1BC8-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSORS PERFORMANCE IS ACTIVE
1. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display active: B1BC8-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSORS PERFORMANCE?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Go to step 6
CHECK FOR OTHER ACTIVE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR FAULTS IN THE OCM
1. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display any other active Seat Weight Sensor DTCs?
  
  Yes
  - Diagnose and repair the DTCs. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
  No
  - Go to step 4
INSPECT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS
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.
1. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the Passenger Seat Harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
  Are any of these conditions present?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 5
PERFORM OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST
1. Verify that all of the Seat Weight Sensor mounting screws are torqued to specification. Refer to Body - Specifications .
  WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
  
  NOTE: Failure to follow test instructions or aborting the test will cause faults to set when performing the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. To prevent faults due to process errors: Verify That All Tests Steps That Led You Here Were Performed As Directed; Verify That The Ignition Is In Run; Wait 30 Seconds After Changing The Seat Weight Before Proceeding To Allow The System To Stabilize; Only Press scan tool Buttons When Directed To Do So; and Perform The Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test To Completion.
2. With the scan tool in OCM, select More Options, select System Tests, and select Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. Run the test by following the instructions displayed on the scan tool. When the test is complete, wait two minutes, and then proceed as follows. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
3. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display any active PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR PERFORMANCE DTCs?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the Diagnosis/Checkout Procedure For Seat Weight Sensors. Refer to Non-DTC Diagnostics/Restraints - Diagnosis and Testing .
  - Perform the OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No - Other DTCs Active
  - Diagnose and repair the DTCs. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX for a complete list of symptoms. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
  No - No DTCs Active
  - Perform the OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTCs from all Airbag modules.
2. If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
  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.
3. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
4. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
5. The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
6. Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
  WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
7. With the scan tool, monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.
  NOTE: This DTC will take 10 minutes to mature, allow plenty of time for the code to mature between as you work through the test steps.
  
  WARNING: Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
8. Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
9. If only stored codes return, continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.
10. In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting the active DTC in question.
  Does the scan tool display any ACTIVE DTCs?
  
  Yes
  - Select appropriate diagnostic from DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX . See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
  No
  - No problem found at this time. Perform the OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM) SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST . See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure . Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
