TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

NOTE: Ensure there is PCI bus communication with other modules. If not,
refer to the PCI Bus Communication Failure symptom and repair as
necessary.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNI-
TION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BE-
FORE PROCEEDING.
Disconnect the ACM harness connector.
Connect the appropriate Load Tool ACM Adapter to the ACM connector.
Turn the ignition on and then reconnect the Battery.
Use Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and
black test probes.
Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRB. Attach the
red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.
With the DRBIII

t select Pep Module Tools.

Select lab scope.
Select Live Data.
Select 12 volt square wave.
Press F2 for Scope.
Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again
when complete.
Connect the Black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the Red lead to the PCI Bus
circuit in the ACM connector.
Observe the voltage display on the DRB Lab Scope.
Does the voltage pulse from 0 to approximately 7.5 volts?

All

Yes

→ Go To 11

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for an open.

Perform __AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, DISCONNECT THE
BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
WARNING: IF THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS DROPPED AT ANY
TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.

All

Repair

Replace the Airbag Control Module in accordance with Service
Instructions.
Perform __AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the PCM/ECM harness connector. Note: If equipped with NGC follow the
caution below.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING
THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMI-
NALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL
MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.
Disconnect the DRB from the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Measure the resistance of the PCI Bus circuit between the Data Link Connector
(DLC) and the PCM/ECM harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

All

Yes

→ Go To 13

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for an open. Note: DO not repair the

OCS wiring. If OCS wiring problem is present, install or replace
the OCS Service Repair Kit. Then perform the Verification
Required test to remove DTC created by the repair.
Perform __AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

NOTE: Reconnect the PCM/ECM harness connector and the negative bat-
tery cable.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the PCI Bus circuit at the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Is the voltage above 7.0 volts?

All

Yes

→ Go To 14

→ Test Complete.

Turn the ignition off.
Using a voltmeter, connect one end to the PCI Bus circuit at the DLC, and the other
end to ground.
Note: When performing the next step turn the ignition off (wait one minute)
before disconnecting any module. When the module is disconnected turn
the ignition on to check for a short to voltage.
Turn the ignition on.
While monitoring the voltmeter, disconnect each module the vehicle is equipped with
one at a time.
Is the voltage steadily above 7.0 volts with all the modules disconnected?

All

Yes

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Replace the module that when disconnected the short to voltage

was eliminated.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

Symptom:

NO PCI TRANSMISSION

When Monitored and Set Condition:

NO PCI TRANSMISSION

When Monitored:

With the ignition on and the module transmitting information on the

BUS.

Set Condition:

The code will set immediately if the onboard diagnostic cannot detect the

module transmitting information on the BUS. NOTE: Any Bus Failure will may cause a
stored code to set.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE - ACM

STORED CODE OR INTERMITTENT CONDITION

ACTIVE CODE PRESENT

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition on.
NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: For the purpose of this test, the AECM and ORC modules will be
referred to as an ACM.
From the list below, select the appropriate module and DTC type for this diagnostic
trouble code.
DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

All

ACM - ACTIVE

Go To

ACM - STORED

Go To

NOTE: When reconnecting airbag system components the Ignition must be
turned off and the Battery must be disconnected.

All

Repair

Replace the Airbag Control Module in accordance with Service
Instructions.
Perform __AIRBAG VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

AIRBAG

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

With the DRBIII

t, record and erase all DTC’s from all Airbag modules.

If equipped with Passenger Airbag On - Off switch, read the DTC’s in all switch
positions.
If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored
codes.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNI-
TION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BE-
FORE PROCEEDING.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Look for chaffed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed
out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent
problem.
Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNI-
TION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.
With the DRBIII

t monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, MAINTAIN A SAFE
DISTANCE FROM ALL AIRBAGS WHILE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING
STEPS.
Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop
to stop.
IF only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated
In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for
setting active DTC in question.
Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?

All

Yes

→ Select appropriate symptom from Symptom List.

→ No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning

vehicle to customer.
