Diagnostic Test
- VERIFY ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Make sure the battery is fully charged.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.
Does the scan tool display active B0001-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB CIRCUITS FOR OPEN CIRCUITS WARNING:
Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Disconnect the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.WARNING:
Do not place an intact non-deployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag propels into the air if accidentally deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE:Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- With the scan tool, read the ORC DTCs.
Does the scan tool display active B0001-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
WARNING:Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Replace the Driver Airbag in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Disconnect the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
- CHECK THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE SQUIB CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN WARNING:
Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Disconnect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and Jumper from the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
- Disconnect the harness connector.NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
- Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit and the SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-19, 4 Pin Jumper) to the harness connector.WARNING:

Does the scan tool display active B0001-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 1 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
WARNING:Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Replace the STEERING CONTROL MODULE in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK (R43, R45) DRIVER SQUIB 1 CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE WARNING:
Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Disconnect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the Jumper from the harness connector.

Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
- Connect the SRS Load Tool Adapter (special tool #8443-57, Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool) to the ORC C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (R43) Driver Squib 1 Line 2 circuit between the appropriate terminals of the harness connector and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor (special tool #8443-57, Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool).
- Measure the resistance of the (R45) Driver Squib 1 Line 1 circuit between the appropriate terminals of the harness connector and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor (special tool #8443-57, Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool).
Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohms on both circuits?
Yes
WARNING:If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Replace the ORC module according to the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER, REMOVAL .
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Repair the (R43, R45) Driver Squib 1 circuits for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
