Pinpoint Test - Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Pinpoint Test N: DTCs B0091:11, B0091:93, B0097:11 and B0097:93

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 46, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information. [1][2]Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors the driver front door and passenger second row C-pillar side impact sensors and circuits for the following faults:

- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted driver front door side impact sensor
- Faulted passenger second row C-pillar side impact sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM (Restraints Control Module) stores DTC B0091:11, B0091:93, B0097:11 or B0097:93 in memory and sends a message to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. The RCM (Restraints Control Module) communicates with each impact sensor, if the RCM (Restraints Control Module) is unable to communicate with the sensor, a DTC is stored in memory. A Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) no operation (fault status :93) can be set by a short to voltage on the return circuit of the impact sensor.

NOTE: A short to ground on either impact sensor feed circuit sets DTCs B0091:11 and B0097:11. A short to voltage on either impact sensor feed circuit sets DTCs B0091:93 and B0097:93.





This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Driver front door side impact sensor
- Passenger second row C-pillar side impact sensor
- RCM (Restraints Control Module)
