B1C4A
B1C4A-1ST ROW PASSENGER RETRACTOR PRETENSIONER CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information. Electrical Diagrams
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the resistance of the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner circuits.
- Set Condition:
The ORC has detected low resistance between the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner circuits.
1. SELECT ACTIVE OR STORED DTC
NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: The scan tool, SRS Airbag Load Tool 8443, and DVOM are required to perform the following test.
1. With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTC.
2. Select Active or Stored DTC.
Is the DTC active or stored?
ORC - ACTIVE DTC
- Go To 2
ORC - STORED DTC
- Go To 4
2. CHECK FOR SHORTED PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR TENSIONER
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 Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner connector.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
2. Connect the Load Tool 8443 and Jumper 8443-10 to the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner connector.
WARNING: Turn the ignition on then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
3. With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTC.
Does the scan tool display B1C4A-1ST ROW PASSENGER RETRACTOR PRETENSIONER CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER DTC?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Replace the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Airbag System Verification Test.
3. CHECK (R56) PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR TENSIONER LINE 1 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (R54) PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR TENSIONER LINE 2 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. Disconnect the Load Tool 8443 and Jumper from the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner connector.
2. Disconnect the ORC connectors.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
3. Connect the Load Tool ORC Adaptor 8443-32-L to the ORC connectors.
NOTE: The IP Harness is always connected to the right side (C1) of the Adapter 8443-32-L.
4. Measure the resistance between the (R56) Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner Line 1 circuit and the (R54) Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner Line 2 circuit at the Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner connector.
Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (R56) Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner Line 1 circuit for a short to the (R54) Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Tensioner Line 2 circuit.
- 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.
4. STORED ORC DTC
1. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTC from all Airbag System Modules.
2. If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.
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.
3. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
4. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
5. The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
6. Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.
WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
7. With the scan tool monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.
8. Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
9. If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
10. If only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.
11. In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question.
Are any ACTIVE DTC present?
Yes
- Perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.Testing and Inspection
No
- No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
