Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Testing and Inspection

This procedure requires the use of the DRBIII(R) scan tool.

After the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) has been replaced, the Airbag Warning Indicator Light in the Instrument Cluster flashes. This indicates that the ORC has not yet been programmed. Follow this procedure using the DRBIII(R) scan tool:
- The side airbag equipment is programmed to YES on the parts control modules.
- The seatbelt buckle equipment is programmed to YES.
- The passenger seat occupant simulator is programmed to YES.
- The front passenger airbag is programmed to YES.
- Turn the ignition to off and then on.
- Read out and erase any DTCs.

At this time the Airbag Warning Indicator Light will flash on and off to conclude the programming. When a front passenger airbag is retrofitted, the ORC only needs to be reprogrammed, not replaced. After finishing this procedure, any programming failure is due to a defective ORC.
