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.
