Diagnostic Test
- VERIFY THAT B1BBB-PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR INPUTS SHORTED TOGETHER DTC IS ACTIVE
- INSPECT PASSENGER 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.
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the Passenger 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
- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.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.
- Perform the RE-ZERO OCM SEAT WEIGHT SENSORS diagnostic procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the Passenger Seat Harness wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded or contaminated terminals.
- CHECK VOLTAGE OF (R701) SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT
- Disconnect all four of the Seat Weight Sensor 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.
- Measure the voltage of the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor 5 Volt supply circuit on all four seat weight sensors.NOTE: Two Seat Weight Sensors should show a considerable difference in 5 Volt supply circuit voltage.
Is the voltage above 4.8 volts?
Yes
- Go to step 5
No
- Go to step 4
- Disconnect all four of the Seat Weight Sensor connectors.
- CHECK THE APPROPRIATE (R701) SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE OTHER APPROPRIATE (R701) SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR 5 VOLT 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.
- Measure the resistance between the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor supply circuit of the two suspect seat weight sensors.
Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor 5 Volt supply circuit of the suspect sensors shorted together.
- Perform the AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Replace the OCM in accordance with Service Information.
- Perform the B1BA7-OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM VERIFICATION REQUIRED diagnostic test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
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.
- Measure the resistance between the (R701) Seat Weight Sensor supply circuit of the two suspect seat weight sensors.
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
- With the scan tool, record and erase all DTCs from the OCM.
- 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.
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
- The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.
- 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.
- With the scan tool monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.WARNING: Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.
- If only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.
- In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question.
Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?
Yes
- Select appropriate diagnostic from the Table of Contents List. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Diagnosis and Testing .
- Perform the Occupant Classification Module System Verification Test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- No problem found at this time. Perform the OCS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Occupant Classification (OCM) - Standard Procedure . Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
