Diagnostic Test

  1. 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.
    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 

      No 

      • Go to step  2
  2. VERIFY THAT DTC B1B93-PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW IS ACTIVE 
    1. With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active: B1B93-PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

      • Go to step  7
  3. 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 wiring diagram/schematic 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 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. VERIFY THAT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY 
    1. Verify that the Passenger Seat Harness is routed correctly.

      Is the Passenger Seat Harness routed correctly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. CHECK (R262) SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA-PASSENGER CIRCUIT AND (R264) SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE-PASSENGER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (R262) Seat Position Sensor Data-Passenger circuit.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (R264) Seat Position Sensor Voltage-Passenger circuit.

      Is the resistance below 10K Ohms on either circuit?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. CHECK (R262) SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA-PASSENGER CIRCUIT AND (R264) SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE-PASSENGER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    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 OCM connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (R262) Seat Position Sensor Data-Passenger circuit between the OCM C1 connector and the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector.

    3. Measure the resistance of the (R264) Seat Position Sensor Voltage-Passenger circuit between the OCM C1 connector and the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector.

      Is the resistance of either circuit above 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  7. TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    1. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTCs 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 

      No 

      • No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
