B1B8E






B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH







- When Monitored:
While the CAN bus ignition status is in IGN_RUN and the module is configured for a Driver Seat Track Position Sensor, the module checks the sensor input current ranges.

- Set Condition:
If the module detects that the sensor input is greater than or equal to 20.5 mA. This DTC may set when the current is between 17 mA and 20.5 mA.





1. IDENTIFYING VEHICLE EQUIPMENT

NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.

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

Does the scan tool display active DTC: B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.

2. CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS, AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)
1. With the scan tool, read Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) DTCs.

Does the scan tool display any active DTCs relating to internal faults, ignition faults, or battery faults?

Yes

- Testing and Inspection Perform the appropriate diagnostic.

No

- Go To 3

3. INSPECT DRIVER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS

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. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the driver seat harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.

Are any of these conditions present?

Yes

- NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the driver seat harness.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. VERIFY THAT DRIVER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY
1. Verify that the driver seat harness is routed correctly.

Is the Driver Seat Harness routed correctly?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- `Reroute the driver seat harness as necessary.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

5. CHECK FOR DTC B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH WITH DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR DISCONNECTED

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 Seat Track Position Sensor 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.

2. Wait two minutes, and then with the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes

- Go To 6

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 Seat Track Position Sensor.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

6. CHECK (R261) DRIVE SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA CIRCUIT AND (R263) DRIVE SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE





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 ORC 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.

2. Measure the voltage of the (R261) Driver Seat Position Sensor Data circuit at the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector cavity 1.
3. Measure the voltage of the (R263) Driver Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit at the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector cavity 2.

Is the voltage above 0.2 of a volt on either circuit?

Yes

- NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- 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 Seat Harness.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

No

- Replace the ORC.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.
