Are the resistances less than 0.5 ohm?
Yes | GO to A7 |
|---|---|
No | REPAIR the circuits. Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information. GO to A17 |
A7 CHECK THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CONTROL DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) FOR A FAULT STATUS CHANGE (OPEN INDICATED)
NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the RCM by inducing a different fault condition. If the reported fault changes, this indicates the RCM is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.
Connect RCM C310A and C310B. Connect a fused jumper wire:
Click to display connectors
Lead 1 | Measurement / Action | Lead 2 |
|---|---|---|
C256-4 | C256-5 |
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. DIAGNOSTIC TIP: When viewing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) with the passenger airbag stage 2 circuits shorted together, a low resistance fault is normally retrieved. An open circuit fault is also retrieved for passenger airbag stage 1 and the passenger airbag canister vent, due to the passenger airbag connector being disconnected.
Did the on-demand DTC change from B0011:13 to B0011:1A?
Yes | REMOVE the fused jumper wire and GO to A11 |
|---|---|
No | REMOVE the fused jumper wire and GO to A12 |
A8 CHECK THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CONTROL DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) FOR A FAULT STATUS CHANGE (SHORT TO GROUND INDICATED)
NOTE: This pinpoint test step attempts to change the fault reported by the RCM by inducing a different fault condition. If the reported fault changes, this indicates the RCM is functioning correctly and is not the source of the fault.
Ignition OFF. Depower the SRS. REFER to: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, General Procedures). Remove the glove compartment. REFER to: Glove Compartment (501-12 Instrument Panel and Console, Removal and Installation). Disconnect Passenger Airbag C256. 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.
