Passenger Off Indicator Circuit Short To Ground







PASSENGER OFF INDICATOR CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND





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 is no 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 FUSE C4
Remove and inspect the PDC C4 Fuse.
Is the C4 Fuse open?

Yes

- Go To 7

No

- Go To 3

3. VERIFY SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE




Measure the voltage on the (A21) Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit between the PDC C4 Fuse supply side and ground.
Is the voltage above 11 volts?

Yes

- Go To 4

No

- Repair the open (A21) Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit.
- Reinstall the PDC C4 Fuse.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

4. VERIFY CLUSTER GAUGE PACK SUPPLY CIRCUIT




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.

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

Measure the voltage on the (G5) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit between the Gauge Pack C1 connector cavity 3 and ground.
Is the voltage above 11 volts?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the open (G5) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

5. VERIFY INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT




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

Connect the Cluster Gauge Pack C1 connector.
Disconnect the ORC connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

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 of the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the 8443-25 Adaptor cavity C1 (24)-6 and ground.
Is the voltage above 10 volts?

Yes

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.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Go To 6

6. VERIFY OPEN CLUSTER GAUGE PACK CIRCUIT




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.
Measure the resistance of the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the Cluster Gauge Pack C1 connector cavity 1 and the 8443-25 Adaptor cavity C1 (24)-6.
Is the below 5 Ohms?

Yes

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

No

- Repair the open (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

7. VERIFY INDICATOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT




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.
Measure the resistance of the (G5) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit between the Gauge Pack C1 connector cavity 3 and ground.
Is resistance below 5 Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (G5) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run/Start) circuit shorted to ground.
- Replace the PDC C4 Fuse.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Go To 8

8. VERIFY INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT




Disconnect the ORC connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Connect the Load Tool ORC 8443-25 Adaptor to the ORC connectors.
Measure the resistance of the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the 8443-25 Adaptor cavity C1 (24)-6 and ground.
Is the below 5 Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit shorted to ground.
- Replace the PDC C4 Fuse.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests

No

- Go To 9

9. VERIFY SHORTED CLUSTER GAUGE PACK




Connect the Cluster Gauge Pack C1 connector.
Measure the resistance of the (R166) Passenger Airbag Indicator Driver circuit between the 8443-25 Adaptor cavity C1 (24)-6 and ground.
Is the below 5 Ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Cluster Gauge Pack.
- Replace the PDC C4 Fuse.
- 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.
