B1B77-RIGHT SIDE SATELLITE ACCELERATION SENSOR 3 INTERNAL





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The Right Side Impact Sensor 3 is located in the "D" pillar area over the rear axle and before the rear lift gate. The impact sensors perform their own self-test using power supplied by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) then communicates this status back to the ORC with periodic updates.

- When Monitored:
The impact sensor performs a self test for internal circuitry at power up during the initialization process, and continuously through the ignition cycle every 10 ms.

- Set Condition:
This DTC sets when the ORC receives notification of a self test failure within the impact sensor. Once set, this DTC is latched for the entire ignition cycle or until the clear faults command is used by the scan tool, depending on the specific condition that sets the DTC.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Restraints System Pre-Diagnostic Procedure.

NOTE: The airbag warning lamp in the Cab Compartment Node/CCN (Instrument Cluster) sets.

1. CHECK FOR OTHER SENSOR INTERNAL DTCS

NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool clear the faults.
3. With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

Are there any other Sensor Internal DTCs present?

Yes

- Inspect the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Restraints System Verification Test.

No

- Go To 2

2. REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 3

WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

1. Replace the Right Side Impact Sensor 3. 8m Front.
2. Reconnect the vehicle body harness to the impact sensor.
3. Remove any special tools or jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components - except the Battery.

WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

4. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector - use the most current software available.
5. Use the scan tool and erase the stored codes in all airbag system modules.
6. Turn the Ignition Off, and wait 15 seconds before turning the Ignition On.
7. Wait one minute, and read active codes and if there are none present read the stored codes.

Did the active B1B77-Right Side Satellite Acceleration Sensor 3 Internal DTC return?

Yes

- WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

- 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. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

- Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller. Occupant Restraint Controller - Removal.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Restraints System Verification Test.

No

- Repair is complete.
