B0028-12-1ST ROW RIGHT SEAT MOUNTED SIDE SQUIB 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY

Special Tools:










For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) sends a test current to the squibs to verify the integrity of the squib and wiring. These circuits are maintained in a "floating" configuration at the module (connected to neither power nor ground) as protection against inadvertent deployment. Use of the (8443A) in the tests below substitutes a suspect squib with a known good component.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the voltage on the Right Seat Airbag Squib circuits. If voltage is detected on the Right Seat Squib circuits the ORC will set this DTC.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Restraints System Pre-Diagnostic Procedure.

1.

NOTE: The use of a approved special tool or Digital Multimeter such as a Fluke Meter that will not apply more than 20 milliamperes to a circuit are the only measurement tools to be used.

NOTE: Probing of the circuit cavities at the ORC Module C1-A, C1-B, or C2-A body harness connectors is only to be done with a approved test lead from the (10159) and use test lead 10159-6. Or a comparable test lead to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.
DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

NOTE: Make sure that the battery is fully charged.

1. Disconnect the Right Seat Airbag appropriate harness connector (under Right Seat).

NOTE: Check the connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

2. Connect the (8443A) and the appropriate SRS Load Tool Jumper to the appropriate Right Seat Airbag connector (Body Side).If the vehicle is equipped with the standard key ignition, follow this ignition on warning.

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.
If the vehicle is equipped with the keyless ignition, follow this ignition on warning.

WARNING: Disconnect the 12-volt battery wait two minutes before proceeding, remove the ORC fuses, connect the 12-volt battery, wait two minutes before proceeding. Cycle the ignition to the On position, then reconnect the ORC fuses. 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 active ORC DTC.

Does the scan tool display : B0028-12-1ST ROW RIGHT SEAT MOUNTED SIDE SQUIB 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY

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.

- In accordance with the Service Information repair or replace the Right Seat Airbag wiring harness (Side Airbag Jumper).
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Restraints System Verification Test.

4. CHECK (R6) RIGHT SEAT SQUIB 1 LINE 2 CIRCUIT AND (R8) RIGHT SEAT SQUIB 1 LINE 1 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO BATTERY





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.
