DRIVER AIRBAG
 
ORC
  



Diagnostic Test

1.DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

NOTE: Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

NOTE: The scan tool, SRS Airbag Load Tool MRL 8443 and DVOM are required to perform the following test.




SELECT ACTIVE or STORED DTC:

ACTIVE DTC
  • Go To 2


STORED DTC
  • Go To 5

2.CHECK FOR SHORTED SQUIB CIRCUITS IN DRIVER AIRBAG



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, do not place an intact undeployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag will propel into the air if accidentally deployed.


NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.




Does the scan tool display: DRIVER SQUIB 2 SHORT TO BATTERY?

Yes
  • Go To 3


No
  • Replace the Driver Airbag in accordance with the Service Information.
  • Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

3.CHECK CLOCKSPRING SQUIB CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO BATTERY



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.




NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.




Does the scan tool display: DRIVER SQUIB 2 SHORT TO BATTERY?

Yes
  • Go To 4


No
  • Replace the Clockspring in accordance with the Service Information.
  • Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

4.CHECK DRIVER SQUIB 2 LINE 1 CIRCUIT AND DRIVER SQUIB 2 LINE 2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO BATTERY



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.




NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.





Is there any voltage present for either measurement?

Yes
  • Repair the Driver Squib 2 circuits with voltage present for a short to Battery.
  • Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.


No

  • WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions can result in accidental airbag deployment and personal injury or death.

    WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

  • Replace the ORC in accordance with the Service Information.
  • Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
