B1B94
B1B94-PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH
For a complete wiring diagram REFER to DIAGRAMS/ELECTRICAL .
Theory of Operation
When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) sends a test current to the seat track position sensors to verify the integrity of the sensor and wiring. The use of the ORC connector adapter tool in the tests below provides a test point in place of the module.
- When Monitored:
The ORC monitors the status of the seat track position sensor circuits continuously.
- Set Condition:
This DTC sets when the ORC detects the seat track position sensor circuits have become shorted to voltage for more than 2.5 seconds, or current is below threshold. This DTC transitions from active to stored when the module sees a recovery from the shorted to voltage condition for greater than 5 seconds.
Diagnostic Test

Yes
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if any of these conditions exist.
- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.Restraints System Verification Test
No
- Go To 7
7. (R60) PASSENGER SEAT BELT SWITCH RETURN SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
Measure the voltage of the (R60) Passenger Seat Belt Switch Return circuit.
Is the voltage above 0.2 volts on either circuit?
Yes
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if any of these conditions exist.
- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
- Perform *RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST.Restraints System Verification Test
No
- Go To 8
8. (R262) PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (R264) PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
Measure the resistance of the (R262) Passenger Seat Position Sensor Data circuit between the ORC C1-A connector and the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector.
Measure the resistance of the (R264) Passenger Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit between the ORC C1-A connector and the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector.
Is the resistance of either circuit above 5.0 ohms?
Yes
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if any of these conditions exist.
- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness.
