CHECK FOR OPEN SQUIB CIRCUITS IN DRIVER AIRBAG

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off,
disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
Disconnect the Driver Airbag Squib connectors.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, do not place an
intact undeployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag
will propel into the air if accidentally deployed.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
Connect the 8443 Load Tool and appropriate Jumper to the Driver Air-
bag Squib connectors.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on,
then reconnect the battery.
With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: DRIVER SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN?

Yes

>> Go To 3

>> Replace the Driver Airbag in accordance with the Service

Information.

WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped
at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions can result in accidental airbag deployment and personal
injury or death.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off,

CHECKING STORED OR INTERMITTENT CODES

NOTE: Diagnose and repair all active codes before diagnosing stored codes. Refer to the Table of Contents
in this Section for a complete list of airbag system diagnostic procedures.
With the scan tool, record and erase all Airbag System Module DTCs.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two min-
utes before proceeding.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring and connectors for chafed, pierced,
pinched, and partially broken wires, and for broken, bent, pushed out, corroded, and contaminated terminals. Repair
as necessary.

Reconnect all disconnected components and harness connectors.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.
With the scan tool, monitor for active codes while performing the following:

•

Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit.

•

Rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.

•

Continue the test until either a code becomes active or the problem area is isolated.

In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting the DTC in question /
causing the intermittent condition.

Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?

Yes

>> Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure from the Table of Contents in this section.

>> No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning the vehicle to the customer.
