DIAGNOSTIC TEST

1. MEASURE THE VOLTAGE OF THE ORC FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT





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

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.

Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit at the ORC harness connector.

Q: Is the voltage above 10 volts?

YES: 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
NO: System voltage must be between 12 and 16 volts. Repair the voltage concern as necessary. Perform AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test
