TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION

With the scan tool, record and erase all DTCs from all Airbag modules.

If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.

Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or con-
taminated 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 ignition on, then reconnect the battery.
With the scan tool, 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 the active DTC in ques-
tion.

Does the scan tool display any ACTIVE DTCs?

Yes

>> Select appropriate symptom from Symptom List.

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

•

When Monitored:
While the CAN bus ignition status is in IGN_RUN, the module checks the sensor input ranges.

•

Set Condition:
If the module detects that the sensor input is greater than 96 ± 0.6% of the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor 5 Volt
circuit voltage.

Possible Causes

PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS IMPROPERLY ROUTED

PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS WIRES CHAFED, PIERCED, PINCHED, PARTIALLY BROKEN

PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS CONNECTOR TERMINALS BROKEN, BENT PUSHED OUT, SPREAD,
CORRODED, CONTAMINATED

(R705) LT-RR SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

LEFT-REAR SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM)

Diagnostic Test

CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS, AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT
CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM)

NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.

NOTE: When reconnecting Airbag system components, the ignition must be turned off and the battery must
be disconnected.
Turn the ignition on, then off, and then on again.

With the scan tool, read Occupant Classification Module (OCM) DTCs.

Does the scan tool display any active DTCs relating to internal faults, ignition faults, or battery faults?

Yes

>> Diagnose and repair the DTCs. Refer to the Table of Contents in this Section for a complete list of

symptoms.

RESTRAINTS - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

INSPECT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS

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 Passenger Seat Harness wiring and connectors. Look
for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contam-
inated terminals.

Are any of these conditions present?

Yes

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or
testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

>> Go To 4

VERIFY THAT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY

Verify that the Passenger Seat Harness is routed correctly.

Is the Passenger Seat Harness routed correctly?

Yes

>> Go To 5

>> Reroute the Passenger Seat Harness as necessary.

Perform OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

CHECK IF MORE THAN ONE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR DTC IS ACTIVE

Verify that all of the Seat Weight Sensor mounting screws are torqued to specification. Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.

NOTE: Failure to follow test instructions or aborting the test will cause faults to set when performing the
Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. To prevent faults due to process errors: Verify
That All Tests Steps That Led You Here Were Performed As Directed; Verify That The Ignition Is In Run; Wait
30 Seconds After Changing The Seat Weight Before Proceeding To Allow The System To Stabilize; Only
Press Scan Tool Buttons When Directed To Do So; and Perform The Occupant Classification Module System
Verification Test To Completion.
With the scan tool in OCM, select More Options, select System Tests, and select Occupant Classification Module
System Verification Test. Run the test by following the instructions displayed on the scan tool. When the test is
complete, wait two minutes, and then proceed as follows.

With the scan tool, read OCM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display any active PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR DTCs?

Yes - More Than One PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR DTC Is Active

Perform the *Diagnosis/Checkout Procedure For Seat Weight Sensors.

Perform OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

Yes - Only DTC B1B84 Is Active

Go To 6

No - But Other DTCs Present

Diagnose and repair the DTCs. Refer to the Table of Contents in this Section for a complete list of
