B0097:96




PINPOINT TEST 17: DTCs B0097:11, 81, 93 AND 96

Normal Operation

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) checks the passenger second row C-pillar side impact sensor (right side restraints sensor 2) and circuits for faults. If the RCM detects a fault, it will set and store DTC B0097:11, 81, 93 or 96 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

Possible Causes
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Passenger second row C-pillar side impact sensor (right side restraints sensor 2)
- RCM

Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING:Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION:Use the correct probe adapter(s) when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

CAUTION:Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE:Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components should only be disconnected or reconnected when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS.
NOTE:The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
NOTE:Do not probe any impact sensor. The impact sensor can not be tested using a multi-meter.
