B1BA5
B1BA5-00-AIRBAG SQUIB CONFIGURATION MISMATCH -
Theory of Operation
When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) sends a test current to the Squibs. During this test, the squibs discovered are checked for agreement with the pre-programmed vehicle configuration of squib circuits assigned to the ORC.
- When Monitored:
The ORC checks its feature configuration for a stored airbag and tensioner configuration at power-up and initialization.
- Set Condition:
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when the ORC detects a 2 consecutive message mismatches between the Vehicle Configuration and the ORC configuration. Once set, this DTC is latched for the entire power cycle.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Restraints System Pre-Diagnostic Procedure.
1. VERIFY ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.
Does the scan tool display active B1BA5-00-AIRBAG SQUIB CONFIGURATION MISMATCH - DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Restraints System Intermittent Condition Test.
2. VERIFY ORC PART NUMBER
1. With the scan tool, read the ORC part number.
Is the part number correct for the vehicle?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- 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 follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Replace the ORC.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.Restraints System Verification Test.
3. CHECK THE VIN WITH THE SCAN TOOL
1. With the scan tool, read the VIN.
2. Compare the vehicle VIN to the ORC VIN.
Is the correct VIN displayed?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Replace the PCM.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test.
4. VERIFY TIPM CONFIGURATION
1. With the scan tool, read the TIPM configuration.
Does the TIPM configuration match the vehicle equipment?
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 follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Replace the ORC.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.Restraints System Verification Test.
No
- Re-configure or replace the TIPM.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
