Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)






U0020-CAN B BUS OFF PERFORMANCE







- When Monitored:
Continuously

- Set Condition:
Whenever the CAN B Bus (+) or CAN B Bus (-) circuit is open, shorted to voltage or shorted to ground.





1. VERIFY DTC U0020-CAN B BUS IS ACTIVE
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read Occupant Classification Module (OCM) DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: U0019-CAN B BUS?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- If the DTC is stored, check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded or contaminated terminals.
- Perform the OCS VERIFICATION TEST. OCS Verification Test.

2. CHECK FOR ACTIVE CAN B BUS RELATED DTCS IN THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
1. With the scan tool, read the Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) DTCs

Does the scan tool display any active CAN B BUS related DTCs?

Yes

- Diagnose and repair the DTC(s).Testing and Inspection.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
