Diagnostic Test

CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS, AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM)
NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.
1. Turn the ignition on.
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. Refer to the following for a complete list of symptoms. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
  No
  - Go to step 2
VERIFY THAT DTC B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH IS ACTIVE
1. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display active: B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Go to step 8
INSPECT DRIVER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS
1. With the scan tool, erase OCM DTCs.
  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.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the Driver 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 Driver Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 4
VERIFY THAT DRIVER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY
1. Verify that the Driver Seat Harness is routed correctly.
  Is the Driver Seat Harness routed correctly?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 5
  No
  - Reroute the Driver Seat Harness as necessary.
  - Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
CHECK FOR DTC B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH WITH DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR DISCONNECTED
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. Disconnect the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector.
  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.
2. Wait two minutes, and then with the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display: B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 6
  No
  - Replace the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
CHECK (R261) SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA-DRIVER CIRCUIT AND (R263) SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE-DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

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.

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.
1. Measure the voltage of the (R261) Seat Position Sensor Data-Driver circuit.
2. Measure the voltage of the (R263) Seat Position Sensor Voltage-Driver circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.2 volts on either circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Driver Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 7
CHECK (R261) SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA-DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (R263) SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE-DRIVER CIRCUIT

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. Measure the resistance between the (R261) Seat Position Sensor Data-Driver circuit and the (R263) Seat Position Sensor Voltage-Driver circuit.
  Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Driver Seat Harness in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Replace the OCM in accordance with the Service information.
  - Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTC's from the OCM.
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 wiring diagram/schematic 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 and 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.
  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 active DTC in question.
  Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?
  
  Yes
  - Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure from DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
  No
  - No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
