B1205






B1205-PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR CIRCUIT HIGH

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

Theory of Operation

The repair of this fault does not involve any external circuitry and centers on the validity of the modules internal circuitry. The airbag indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and when requested to turn on by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The airbag warning lamp sets in the Cluster. The airbag indicator lamp circuit is continuously monitored by the ORC at a rate of every 500ms.

- Set Condition:
The Cluster software detects the resistance across the Airbag Lamp is less than 5K Ohm for five seconds. The fault will go from active to stored after the circuit voltage has returned to normal voltage range for five seconds. The supply voltage range is 9 - 16 volts.





CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: The Cluster performs internal tests on the Airbag Lamp during each ignition cycle.

1. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition on.
3. Wait for the Cluster to perform the bulb check.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Is the DTC active?

Yes

- Replace the Cluster. Instrument Cluster - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Test complete.
