B1B70-UP-FRONT LEFT SATELLITE ACCELERATION SENSOR INTERNAL





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.


  • When Monitored:

    The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) continuously communicates with the Front Left Impact Sensor over the sensor signal circuit. The sensor communication and on board diagnostics are powered by the ORC signal.

  • Set Condition:

    This code will set, if the ORC and the Front Left Impact Sensor do not establish and maintain valid data communications.


Possible Causes
 
(R79) SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY
 
(R79) SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
 
(R79, R81) FRONT LEFT IMPACT SENSOR CIRCUITS SHORTED TOGETHER
 
(R81) FRONT LEFT IMPACT SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
 
(R79) FRONT LEFT IMPACT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
 
ORC, FRONT LEFT IMPACT SENSOR
 




Diagnostic Test

  • Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

6.CHECK THE (R79) FRONT LEFT IMPACT SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE





Is the resistance below 1 ohm?

Yes
  • Go To 7


No
  • Repair the (R79) Front Left Impact Sensor Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
  • Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

7.CHECK OPERATION OF THE FRONT LEFT IMPACT SENSOR




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







Did the active Front Left Impact Sensor DTC return?

Yes
  • Go To 8


No
  • Repair is complete.
  • Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

8.REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER

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


WARNING: If the airbag control module 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.



If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.

Repair
  • Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller in accordance with Service Information.
  • Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

9.TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION



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, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.



WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps.
