Test 2A - No Response From Air Bag Control Module

  1. Remove and inspect fuse No. 4 from junction block. Junction block is behind right kick panel. If fuse is open, go to TEST 2B. If fuse is okay, go to next step.
  2. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, measure voltage on voltage input side of fuse No. 4 socket. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open ignition switch output circuit. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
  3. Install fuse No. 4. Turn ignition off and wait 2 minutes. Disconnect Air Bag System Control Module (ABSCM) connector. ABSCM is located under center console. Turn ignition on.
  4. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, measure voltage on ABSCM connector, terminal No. 1 (Dark Blue/White wire). If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open Dark Blue/White wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
  5. Turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, measure resistance on ABSCM connector, terminal No. 11 (Black/Pink wire). If resistance is 15 ohms or greater, repair open Black/Pink wire. If resistance is less than 15 ohms, go to next step.
  6. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, measure voltage on ABSCM connector, terminal No. 3 (Violet/Brown wire). If voltage is not 1.8-2.6 volts, repair open Violet/Brown wire. If voltage is 1.8-2.6 volts, go to next step.
  7. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, measure voltage on ABSCM connector, terminal No. 4 (White/Black wire). If voltage is not 1.8-2.6 volts, repair open in the White/Black wire. If voltage is 1.8-2.6 volts, refer to the AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section .
NOTE: For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  and WIRING DIAGRAM  . After each repair, perform VERIFICATION TEST VER-1.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition off prior to disconnecting any module connector.
