B223B

B223B-00-VEHICLE CONFIGURATION MISMATCH

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

Theory of Operation

When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) performs an internal self test. The repair of this fault centers on verifying ORC and the BCM configuration.

- When Monitored:
The ORC checks its feature configuration for side airbags present and Passenger Airbag Disable (PAD) Switch present at power-up and initialization.

- Set Condition:
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when the ORC detects a 2 consecutive message mismatches between the BCM configuration and the ORC configuration. Once set, this DTC is latched for the entire power cycle.





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

Diagnostic Test

1. VERIFY ACTIVE ORC DTC

NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Wait 12 seconds, with the scan tool, read all ORC DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active B223B-00-VEHICLE CONFIGURATION MISMATCH - DTC?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. Restraints System Intermittent Condition Test.

2. VERIFY ORC PART NUMBER
1. With the scan tool, read the ORC part number.

Is the part number correct for the vehicle?

Yes

- Go To 3

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.

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 module. Occupant Restraint Controller - Removal
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Restraints System Verification Test.

3. CHECK THE BCM CONFIGURATION
1. With the scan tool, check for Side Airbags and PAD Switch configuration.

Does the Vehicle Configuration in the BCM match the Vehicle Configuration in the ORC?

Yes

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.

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 module. Occupant Restraint Controller - Removal
- Perform the RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Restraints System Verification Test.

No

- With the scan tool enter program network configuration and program the BCM to the vehicle configuration.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST.
