Passenger Off Indicator Circuit Short To Battery

PASSENGER OFF INDICATOR CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:
When the ignition is on, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit for appropriate voltage.

- Set Condition:
The code will set if the ORC senses battery voltage on the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Restraints System Pre-Diagnostic Procedure

Diagnostic Test

1. DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

NOTE: Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read the ORC DTC.
SELECT ACTIVE or STORED DTC:

ACTIVE DTC

- Go To 2

STORED DTC

- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Restraints System Intermittent Test

2. VERIFY PAB INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT VOLTAGE




WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

Disconnect the Cluster Gauge Pack C1 connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Disconnect the ORC connectors.
Connect the Load Tool ORC 8443-25 Adaptor to the ORC connectors.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.

Measure the voltage on the (R166) Passenger airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the Cluster Gauge Pack C1 connector cavity 1 and ground.
Is the there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (R166) Passenger airbag Indicator Driver circuit short to battery or the (G5) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Go To 3

3. VERIFY CLUSTER GAUGE PACK CIRCUIT




Reconnect the Cluster Gauge Pack C1 connector
Measure the voltage of the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the 8443-25 Adaptor cavity C1 (24)-6 and ground.
Is the voltage above 11 volts?

Yes

- Replace the Cluster Gauge Pack.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

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 serious or fatal injury.

- Replace the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests
