  • When Monitored:

    With the ignition on, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the voltage on the Driver Squib 1 circuits.

  • Set Condition:

    The ORC has detected voltage on the Driver Squib 1 circuits.

Is the DTC active or stored?

ORC - ACTIVE DTC
  • Go To 2


ORC - STORED DTC
  • Go To 6

2.CHECK FOR SHORTED SQUIB CIRCUITS IN DRIVER AIRBAG

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: B1B01-DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes
  • Go To 3


No

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: B1B01-DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes
  • Go To 4


No

4.CHECK (R43) DRIVER SQUIB 1 LINE 2 CIRCUIT AND (R45) DRIVER SQUIB 1 LINE 1 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


No
  • Go To 5

5.REPLACE THE ORC

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


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.


NOTE: When reconnecting airbag system components the Ignition must be turned off and the Battery must be disconnected.





Repair

6.STORED ORC DTC



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.
