NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
Connect the 8443 Load Tool and appropriate Jumper to the Left Side Curtain Airbag harness connector(s).
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.
With the scan tool, read the active Occupant Restraint Controller DTC's.
Q: Does the scan tool display DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT HIGH?
YES: Go To 3
NO: Replace the Left Side Curtain Airbag in accordance with Service Information. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 Supplemental Restraints Verification Test
3. (R3) LEFT CURTAIN SQUIB 1 LINE 1 AND/OR (R1) LEFT CURTAIN SQUIB 1 LINE 2SHORTED TO BATTERY.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Disconnect the 8443 Load Tool and Jumper from the Left Side Curtain Airbag harness connector.
Disconnect the ORC harness connector(s).
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
Connect the 8443 Load Tool ORC Adaptor to the ORC harness connector.
Measure the voltage on the (R3) Left Curtain Squib 1 Line 1 circuit between the Left Side Curtain Airbag harness connector and ground.
Measure the voltage on the (R1) Left Curtain Squib 1 Line 2 circuit between the Left Side Curtain Airbag harness connector and ground.
Q: Is there any voltage on either circuit?
YES: Repair (R3) Left Curtain Squib 1 Line 1 and/or (R1) Left Side Curtain Squib 1 Line 2 shorted to battery. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 Supplemental Restraints Verification Test
NO: Go to 4
4. OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER
WARNING:
- TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
- IF THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER 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.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller in accordance with Service Information. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 Supplemental Restraints Verification Test
5. STORED ORC DTC
With the scan tool, record and erase all DTC's from all Airbag System Modules.
If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF THEN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Look for chaffed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.
With the scan tool monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.
Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
IF only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.
In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question.
Q: Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?
YES: Select appropriate symptom from Symptom List.
NO: No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
