No PCI Transmission

NO PCI TRANSMISSION

WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition on and the module transmitting information on the BUS.

SET CONDITION
The code will set immediately if the on-board diagnostic cannot detect the module transmitting information on the BUS. NOTE: Any Bus Failure may cause a stored code to set.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Occupant restraint controller (ORC)

Diagnostic Test

1. DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC
Turn the ignition on.

NOTE:
- Ensure the battery is fully charged.
- When reconnecting airbag system components the Ignition must be turned off and the Battery must be disconnected.

Select ACTIVE or STORED DTC

ORC - ACTIVE DTC
Go To 2

ORC - STORED DTC
Go To 3

2. OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)

WARNING: WARNING:
- TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, 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 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 (ORC). Perform ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

3. CHECKING STORED OR INTERMITTENT CODES
With the DRBIII(R), record and erase all DTC's from all Airbag modules.
If equipped with Passenger Airbag On - Off switch, read the DTC's in all switch positions.
If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.

WARNING: WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, 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: WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.

With the DRBIII(R), monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.

WARNING: WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE FROM ALL AIRBAGS WHILE PERFORMING 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 the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
NO: No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
