Left Side Airbag Squib Circuit

LEFT SIDE AIRBAG SQUIB CIRCUIT

Left Side Airbag Squib Circuit:




WHEN MONITORED
Ignition on. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the resistance of the Left Side Squib circuits.

SET CONDITION
The ORC has detected abnormally high voltage, low resistance, high resistance or an open circuit on one or both of the Left Side Squib circuits.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Left side squib circuit(s) open
- Left side squib circuit(s) short to voltage
- Left side squib circuit(s) short to ground
- Left side squib circuits short to each other
- Left side airbag squib
- Occupant restraint controller

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

1. WITH THE DRB III(R), READ DTCs





NOTE:
- When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition on.
With the DRB III(R), select ACTIVE or STORED DTCs.

Q: Is the DTC ACTIVE?

YES: Go to 2
NO: Go to 10

2. WITH THE DRB III(R), READ ACTIVE DTCs





WARNING:
- TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
- DO NOT PLACE AN INTACT UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG FACE DOWN ON A HARD SURFACE, THE AIRBAG WILL PROPEL INTO THE AIR IF ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOYED, AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.

Disconnect the Left Side airbag.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Connect the appropriate Load Tool to the Left Side Airbag Squib connector.

WARNING: TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.

With the DRB III(R), read the active Airbag DTCs.

Q: Does the DRB III(R) display an active Left Side Airbag Squib DTC?

YES: Go to 3
NO: Replace the Left Side Airbag. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

3. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB LINE 1 CIRCUIT





WARNING: TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.

Disconnect the ORC harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Connect the appropriate harness adapter to the ORC connector.
Disconnect the Load Tool from the Left Side Airbag Squib connector.
Measure the resistance of the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit from the ORC connector to the Left Side Airbag Squib connector.

Q: Is the resistance below 1.0 ohm?

YES: Go to 4
NO: Repair the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit for an open. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.

4. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB LINE 2 CIRCUIT




With the ignition off.
Measure the resistance of the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit from the ORC adapter to the Left Side Airbag Squib connector.

Q: Is the resistance below 1.0 ohm?

YES: Go to 5
NO: Repair the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit for an open. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.

5. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB CIRCUITS




With the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit and the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit at the Left Side Airbag Squib connector.

Q: Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

YES: Repair the Left Side Squib circuits for a short to each other. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
NO: Go to 6

6. MEASURE THE VOLTAGE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB LINE 1 CIRCUIT





WARNING: TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.

Measure the voltage of the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit at the Squib connector.

Q: Is voltage present?

YES: Repair the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit for a short to voltage. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
NO: Go to 7

7. MEASURE THE VOLTAGE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB LINE 2 CIRCUIT




With the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit at the Squib connector.

Q: Is voltage present?

YES: Repair the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit for a short to voltage. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
NO: Go to 8

8. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB LINE 1 CIRCUIT





WARNING: TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.

Measure the resistance between ground and the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit.

Q: Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

YES: Repair the Left Side Squib Line 1 circuit for a short to ground. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
NO: Go to 9

9. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE OF THE LEFT SIDE SQUIB LINE 2 CIRCUIT




With the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between ground and the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit.

Q: Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

YES: Repair the Left Side Squib Line 2 circuit for a short to ground. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

NOTE: When reconnecting the Airbag System components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must be disconnected.
NO: Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller.

WARNING: IF THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER IS DROPPED AT ANY TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED.

Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test

10. WITH THE DRB III(R), READ DTCs

NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.

With the DRB III(R), record and erase all Restraint System DTCs.
All active codes must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps.
With the DRB III(R), monitor active codes as you work through the system.

NOTE: Read the DTCs with the Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch in both switch positions.

Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the appropriate airbag system and rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

You have just attempted to simulate the condition that initially set the trouble code message.
The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem:
- Visually inspect related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded or contaminated terminals.
- Visually inspect the related harnesses. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wire.
- Refer to any Wiring Diagrams that may apply.

Q: Did the DTC become ACTIVE?

YES: Go to 2
NO: The condition that caused this DTC to set is currently not present. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test
