Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.

Was the original DTC retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to: Restraints Control Module (RCM) (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Removal and Installation). GO to A18

No

In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. For DTC B0010:13 or B0010:1A, GO to A14 For DTC B0010:11, GO to A15 For DTC B0010:12, GO to A16

A14 CHECK THE PASSENGER FRONTAL STAGE 1 DEPLOYMENT CONTROL RESISTANCE (DEPLOY_05_R) PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION) FOR AN INTERMITTENT LOW RESISTANCE OR OPEN CIRCUIT FAULT

Remove the glove compartment. REFER to: Glove Compartment (501-12 Instrument Panel and Console, Removal and Installation). Using a diagnostic scan tool, view RCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs). While monitoring the DEPLOY_05_R PID, attempt to recreate the fault by wiggling connectors (including any inline connectors) and flexing the wire harness frequently. Record the resistance value indicated by the PID.

Does the PID value read between 1.44 and 3.52 ohms?

Yes

The fault is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to A17

No

DEPOWER the SRS and REPAIR as necessary. Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information. GO to A18

A15 CHECK THE PASSENGER FRONTAL STAGE 1 DEPLOYMENT CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR AN INTERMITTENT SHORT TO GROUND FAULT

Remove the glove compartment. REFER to: Glove Compartment (501-12 Instrument Panel and Console, Removal and Installation). Attempt to recreate the fault by wiggling connectors (including any inline connectors) and flexing the wire harness frequently. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.

Was DTC B0010:11 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

DEPOWER the SRS and REPAIR as necessary. Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information. GO to A18

No

The fault is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to A17

A16 CHECK THE PASSENGER FRONTAL STAGE 1 DEPLOYMENT CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR AN INTERMITTENT SHORT TO BATTERY FAULT

Ignition OFF. Depower the SRS. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Disconnect Passenger Airbag C256.

Remove the glove compartment. REFER to: Glove Compartment (501-12 Instrument Panel and Console, Removal and Installation).

Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Repowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Ignition ON. Attempt to recreate the fault by wiggling connectors (including any inline connectors) and flexing the wire harness frequently. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform RCM self-test.

Was DTC B0010:12 retrieved on-demand during self-test?

Yes

DEPOWER the SRS and REPAIR as necessary. Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information. GO to A18

No

The fault is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. Install SRS components only when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to A17

A17 CHECK THE HARNESS AND CONNECTORS

Ignition OFF. Depower the SRS. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Disconnect Passenger Airbag C256.

Inspect connector(s) (including any inline connectors) for corrosion, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
