B009A-9A-LEFT SIDE SATELLITE SENSOR 4 - COMPONENT OR SYSTEM OPERATING CONDITIONS

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 Satellite Sensor 4 to verify the integrity of the sensor and wiring. The presence of this code indicates that any two circuits, from two or more sensors, have become shorted or "coupled" together.

- When Monitored:
The ORC checks for the presence of coupled squib circuits once during the initialization process.

- Set Condition:
This DTC sets when the ORC detects that any two circuits, from two or more squibs, have become shorted or "coupled" together. Once set, this DTC is latched for the entire ignition cycle.





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

1. DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Perform ORC module reset. Access the Miscellaneous Function menu from the ORC ECU Overview screen on the scan tool to perform this operation.
3. Using the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

Is the DTC active or stored?

ORC - ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

- Go To 2

ORC - STORED DTC

- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Restraints System Intermittent Condition Test.

2. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL ACTIVE SATELLITE SENSOR DTCS
1. Using the scan tool, read ORC DTCs.

Are there satellite sensor specific DTCs set as active in addition to B009A-9A-LEFT SIDE SATELLITE SENSOR 4 DTC?

Yes

- Repair all other active Satellite Sensor specific DTCs before repairing B009A-9A-LEFT SIDE SATELLITE SENSOR 4 - COMPONENT OR SYSTEM OPERATING CONDITIONS.

No

- Go To 3

3. USE THE SCAN TOOL TO IDENTIFY THE COUPLED CIRCUITS
1. Using the scan tool, identify the two or more sensor circuits that read SET.

Are two or more Squib circuits DTCs set?

Yes

- Repair the two or more Sensor circuits for a Circuit Coupling condition.
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Restraints System Verification Test.

No

- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Restraints System Intermittent Condition Test.
