B212D

B212D-IGNITION RUN ONLY INPUT CIRCUIT OPEN






For a complete wiring diagram refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:

With the ignition in the Run position.

- Set Condition:

If voltage on the (F100) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit drops below 6.0 volts.






Diagnostic Test

1. VERIFY THAT DTC B212D IGNITION RUN ONLY INPUT CIRCUIT OPEN IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, read Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) DTC.

Does the scan tool display active: B212D IGNITION RUN ONLY INPUT CIRCUIT OPEN?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Go To 7

2. INSPECT AIRBAG RUN CIRCUIT FUSE

Turn the ignition off.

Remove the Airbag Run Circuit Fuse from the Junction Block and inspect the fuse.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Is the fuse open?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 5

3. CHECK (F100) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT RESISTANCE





Measure the resistance of the (F100) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit between ground and the Airbag Run Circuit fuse terminal (output side).

Is the resistance below 100.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To4

No

- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring and connectors. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
- Replace Airbag System Run Circuit Fuse.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

4. CHECK (F100) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT RESISTANCE WITH ORC CONNECTORS DISCONNECTED






WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

Disconnect both the ORC connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

Connect the Load Tool ORC 8443-25 Adaptor to the ORC connectors.

Measure the resistance of the (F100) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit between ground and the Airbag Run Circuit fuse terminal (output side).

Is the resistance below 100.0 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (F100) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for a short to ground.
- Replace the Airbag System Run Circuit Fuse.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

No

- Replace the ORC.
- Replace the Airbag System Run Circuit Fuse.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

5. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN





Turn the ignition on.

Measure the voltage of the Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit at the Airbag Run Circuit fuse terminal (supply side).

Is the voltage above 6.0 volts?

Yes

- Go To 6

No

-

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

- Repair the (F921) Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for an open.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

6. CHECK (F100) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN






WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

Reinstall the Airbag Run Circuit Fuse.

Disconnect the ORC connectors.

Connect the Load Tool ORC 8443-25 Adaptor to the ORC connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.

Measure the voltage of the (F100) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) Circuit at the ORC 8443-25 Adaptor.

Is the voltage above 6.0 volts?

Yes

-

WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and serious or fatal injury.

- Replace the ORC.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

No

- Repair (F100) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for an open.
- Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Verification Test

7. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION

With the scan tool, record and erase all DTC from all Airbag modules.

If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.

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: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.

With the scan tool, monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps.

Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.

If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.

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 the active DTC in question.

Does the scan tool display any ACTIVE DTC?

Yes

- Select appropriate symptom from Symptom List.

No

- No problem found Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
