Jeep Liberty KJ. Manual - part 219

CHECK (R64) PASSENGER SQUIB 2 LINE 1 CIRCUIT AND (R62) PASSENGER SQUIB 2 LINE 2 CIRCUIT
FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two min-
utes before proceeding.
Disconnect the 8443 Load Tool from the Passenger Airbag Squib connector.

Disconnect the ORC connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
Connect the 8443 Load Tool ORC Adaptor to the ORC connector.

Measure the resistance of the (R64) Passenger Squib 2 Line 1 circuit between ground and the Passenger Airbag
Squib connector.

Measure the resistance of the (R62) Passenger Squib 2 Line 2 circuit between ground and the Passenger Airbag
Squib connector.

Is the resistance below 10K ohms on either circuit?

Yes

>> Repair the Passenger Squib 2 circuits with a resistance below 10K ohms for a short to ground.

Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

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

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two min-
utes before proceeding.

Replace the ORC in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

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:

8O - 182

RESTRAINTS - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

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

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.

DETERMINE THE CORRECT REPAIR

NOTE: The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and the Passenger Seat Bladder and Cushion Kit are the
only serviceable OCS components.
Determine the correct repair by verifying if the front passenger seat has a Bladder and Cushion Service Kit as
follows:

•

If possible, check the vehicle’s repair history.

•

The Service Kit wiring harness uses tamper resistant material on the harness connector. Inspect for the tamper
resistant material on the harness connector.

Does the seat have a Bladder and Cushion Service Kit?

Yes

WARNING: If the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure
to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and personal injury or death.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two min-
utes before proceeding.

NOTE: The Bladder and Cushion Kit are calibrated as an assembly. Do not disconnect the Bladder from the
Cushion Kit. Service only as an assembly.

Replace OCS Bladder and Cushion Kit in accordance with the Service information.

Perform SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED test.

Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two min-
utes before proceeding.

Cushion Kit. Service only as an assembly.

Replace the OCM in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED test.

Perform *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

INSPECT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) WIRING AND CONNECTORS FOR
CONDITIONS THAT CAUSED THE DTC TO SET

Are any of these conditions present?

Yes

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two min-
utes before proceeding.

NOTE: The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and the Passenger Seat Bladder and Cushion Kit are the

INSPECT THE RELATED BODY WIRING AND CONNECTORS FOR CONDITIONS THAT CAUSED THE DTC
TO SET

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related body wiring and connectors for chafed, pierced,
pinched, and partially broken wires, and for broken, bent, pushed out, corroded, and contaminated terminals. Repair
as necessary.

Are any of these conditions present?

Yes

>> Repair as necessary in accordance with the Service Information.

>> Go To 5

TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION

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 circuit.

•

If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, 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.
