Diagnostic Test

  1. VERIFY ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Make sure the battery is fully charged.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display an active B0002-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 2 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      NO 

  2. CHECK DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 2 CIRCUITS FOR 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.

    1. Disconnect the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
      WARNING:

      NOTE:

      Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

    2. Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-1, Jumpers, 2 Pin) to the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
      WARNING:

      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.

    3. With the scan tool, read the ORC DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active B0002-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 2 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      WARNING:

  3. CHECK STEERING CONTROL MODULE SQUIB 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.

    1. Disconnect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the Jumper from the Driver Airbag Squib harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect the harness connector.
      NOTE:

      Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

    3. Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and the SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-19, 4 Pin Jumper) to the harness connector.
      WARNING:

      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.

    4. With the scan tool, read the ORC DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active B0002-13-DRIVER FRONTAL SQUIB 2 CONTROL - CIRCUIT OPEN DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      WARNING:

    3. Connect the SRS Load Tool Adapter (special tool #8443-57, Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool) to the ORC C1 harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (R63) Driver Squib 2 Line 1 circuit between the harness connector cavity 1 and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor (special tool #8443-57, Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool) cavity 6.
    5. Measure the resistance of the (R61) Driver Squib 2 Line 2 circuit between the harness connector cavity 2 and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor (special tool #8443-57, Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool) cavity 5.

      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.
