Dodge Nitro. Manual - part 181

Continuously, with ignition on, until vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12.4 m.p.h.) for the first time, but 
not if the sensor voltage is out of range. 

Or, during diagnostic mode. 

Or, if the monitoring was inhibited by a corresponding diagnostics command. 

Set Condition: 

If the measured acceleration signal is higher than 0.8 g for longer than the specified detection time. 

Diagnostic Test 

1) CHECK FOR A DTC C1210-G SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE 

Turn the ignition on. 

With the scan tool, read and record DTCs. 

With the scan tool, read and record Freeze Frame information. 

With the scan tool, erase DTCs. 

Cycle the ignition switch from off to on. 

With the scan tool, read and record DTCs. 

Does the scan tool display: C1210-G SENSOR INPUT CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE?  

Yes  

Go to 2).  

No  

Possible Causes 

WIRING HARNESS, TERMINAL, CONNECTOR DAMAGE
(G4) DYNAMICS SENSOR SUPPLY HIGH RESISTANCE
(G94) GROUND CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE
DYNAMICS SENSOR INSTALLATION
DYNAMICS SENSOR
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES MODULE

NOTE:

This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST.  

2) CHECK THE TERMINALS/CONNECTORS/WIRING HARNESS FOR DAMAGE 

Check the Dynamics Sensor installation. 

Check all related wiring for bruised, chafed, pierced, or partially broken wires. 

Check all related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals. 

Were any problems found?  

Yes  

Repair as necessary.  

Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST.  

No  

Go to 3).
