PIN POINT TEST 2 RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE (RCM) DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK THE RCM 0810-101 FOR DAMAGE Yes Go to next step.
No Repair the RCM 0810-101. CONNECT the RCM 0810-101. Activate the air bag system. See SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION . Carry out the WDS or equivalent tester data link test.
20 CHECK THE ISO 9141 CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE DLC AND THE RCM FOR AN OPEN
  • Measure the resistance between the RCM 0810-101 pin 5, circuit (LB/W), harness side and the DLC D-01 pin 7, circuit (LB/W), harness side.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Repair circuit (LB/W) for an open. Connect the RCM 0810-101. ACTIVATE the air bag system. See SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION . Carry out the WDS or equivalent tester data link test.
3 CHECK FOR CORRECT RCM OPERATION
  • Disconnect all the RCM connectors.
  • Check for:
    • corrosion
    • push-out pins
  • Connect all the RCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
  • Activate the air bag system. See SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION .
  • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  • Is the concern still present? 
Yes Install a new RCM. See RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) . Carry out the WDS or equivalent tester data link test.
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Repeat the self-test. Carry out the WDS or equivalent tester data link test.
