U119E
U119E-00-LOST COMMUNICATION W/LEFT PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SATELLITE ACCELERATION SENSOR
Special Tools:
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The pedestrian protection impact sensors perform their own self test using power supplied by the Occupant Restraint Controller module (ORC) then communicate this status back to the ORC with periodic updates. The repair of this fault condition involves verifying the integrity of the wiring between the ORC and the sensor. For ORC Description information Occupant Restraint Controller - Description. For ORC Operation information Occupant Restraint Controller - Operation.
- When Monitored:
The ORC monitors communication with the Left Pedestrian Protection Impact sensor continuously.
- Set Condition:
This DTC sets when the ORC no longer receives notification of the status update from the left pedestrian protection satellite acceleration sensor. Once set, this DTC is latched for the entire ignition cycle. The Airbag Warning Lamp (AWL) is on while faulted condition is active. The AWL lamp will go off as soon as the fault condition is removed and the fault causing the lamp to be "on" dematures
