CHECK FOR SHORTED SQUIB CIRCUITS IN DRIVER AIRBAG
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 Airbag Squib connectors.
  WARNING:
  Do not place an intact non-deployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag propels into the air if accidentally deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
  
  NOTE:
  Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
2. Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-1, Jumpers, 2 Pin) or (special tool #8443-8, Jumper, SRS Load) to the Driver Airbag Squib connectors.
  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 DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display: B1B04-DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT LOW?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Replace the Driver Airbag in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE SQUIB CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
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 SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-1, Jumpers, 2 Pin) or (special tool #8443-8, Jumper, SRS Load) from the Driver Airbag Squib connectors.
2. Disconnect the STEERING CONTROL MODULE C1 connector.
  NOTE:
  Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
3. Connect the SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-19, 4 Pin Jumper) to the STEERING CONTROL MODULE C1 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.
4. With the scan tool, read the active ORC DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display: B1B04-DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT LOW?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Replace the STEERING CONTROL MODULE in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE (R63) DRIVER SQUIB 2 LINE 1 CIRCUIT AND THE (R61) DRIVER SQUIB 2 LINE 2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
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 SRS Load Tool Kit (special tool #8443A, SRS Load Tool) and SRS Load Tool Jumper (special tool #8443-19, 4 Pin Jumper) from the STEERING CONTROL MODULE C1 connector.
2. Disconnect the ORC harness connectors.
  NOTE:
  Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.
  
  NOTE:
  Probing of the circuit cavities at the ORC Module body harness connectors is only to be done with a approved test lead from the (special tool #10159, Test Leads, Dedicated), test lead 10159-6. Or a comparable test lead to prevent vehicle wiring harness connector damage during diagnostic procedures.
3. Connect the test probes to the appropriate ORC harness connector terminal(s).
4. Measure the resistance of the (R63) Driver Squib 2 Line 1 circuit between ground and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor appropriate cavity.
5. Measure the resistance of the (R61) Driver Squib 2 Line 2 circuit between ground and the SRS Load Tool Adaptor appropriate cavity.
  Is the resistance below 10k Ohms for either measurement?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the Driver Squib 2 circuits with resistance below 10k Ohms for a short to ground.
  - Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  
  WARNING:
  If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions can result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
  - Replace the ORC in accordance with Service Information.
  - Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECKING STORED OR INTERMITTENT CODES
NOTE:
Diagnose and repair all active codes before diagnosing stored codes. Refer to OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
1. With the scan tool, record and erase all Airbag System Module DTCs.
  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.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring and connectors for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires, and for broken, bent, pushed out, corroded, and contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
3. Reconnect all disconnected components and harness connectors.
  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.
4. With the scan tool, monitor for active codes while performing the following:
  - Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit.
  - Continue the test until either a code becomes active or the problem area is isolated.
5. In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting the DTC in question / causing the intermittent condition.
  Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?
  
  Yes
  - Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure. Refer to OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
  No
  - No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning the vehicle to the customer.
