B1B8E






B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

- When Monitored:
While the CAN bus ignition status is in IGN_RUN and the module is configured for a Driver Seat Track Position Sensor, the module checks the sensor input current ranges.

- Set Condition:
If the module detects that the sensor input is greater than or equal to 20.5 mA. This DTC may set when the current is between 17 mA and 20.5 mA.





1. IDENTIFYING VEHICLE EQUIPMENT

NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read the ORC active DTC.

Does the scan tool display active B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH DTC?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. . Airbag System Intermittent Condition Test

2. CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)
1. With the scan tool, read Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) DTC.

Does the scan tool display any active DTC relating to internal faults, ignition faults, or battery faults?

Yes

- Diagnose and repair the DTC. Testing and Inspection for a complete list of DTCs.

No

- Go To 3

3. INSPECT DRIVER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS

WARNING: Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the driver seat harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded or contaminated terminals.

Are any of these conditions present?

Yes

- NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the driver seat harness.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. VERIFY THAT DRIVER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY
1. Verify that the driver seat harness is routed correctly.

Is the Driver Seat Harness routed correctly?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Reroute the driver seat harness as necessary.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

5. CHECK FOR DTC B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH WITH DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR DISCONNECTED

WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

1. Disconnect the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector.

WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

2. Wait two minutes and then with the scan tool, read the ORC DTC.

Does the scan tool display B1B8E-DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH DTC?

Yes

- Go To 6

No

- WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Replace the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

6. CHECK (R261) DRIVE SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (R263) DRIVE SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE





WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

1. Disconnect the ORC connectors.
2. Connect the SRS Load Tool Adapter 8443-32-R to the ORC connectors.

WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery. Wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

3. Measure the voltage of the (R261) Driver Seat Track Position Sensor Signal circuit at the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector cavity 1.
4. Measure the voltage of the (R263) Driver Seat Track Position Sensor Supply circuit at the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector cavity 2.

Is there any voltage on R261 and R263 circuits?

Yes

- NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- WARNING: Turn the ignition off, disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

- Replace the Driver Seat Harness.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

No

- Go To 7

7. CHECK (R261) DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (R263) DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT





WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

1. Measure the resistance between the (R261) Driver Seat Track Position Sensor Signal circuit cavity 1 and the (R263) Driver Seat Track Position Sensor Supply circuit cavity 2 in the Driver Seat Track Position Sensor connector.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

Yes

- NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if the condition inspecting or testing for is present in the Seat Harness.

- Replace the Driver Seat Harness.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.

No

- WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

- Replace the ORC.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.
