B1B95-PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

When Monitored:
While the CAN bus ignition status is in IGN_RUN and the module is configured for a Seat Track Position Sensor, the module checks the sensor input current ranges.
Set Condition:
This DTC may set when the module detects that the sensor input current is below 1 mA.

PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE INTERNAL FAULTS, IGNITION FAULTS, AND BATTERY FAULTS IN THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)

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

Does the scan tool display any active DTC relating to internal faults, ignition faults, or battery faults

Yes

Diagnose and repair the DTC. Refer to the Table of Contents in this Section for a complete list of symptoms.

Go To 8

3. INSPECT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS WIRES AND CONNECTORS

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 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

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if any of these conditions exist
Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

4. VERIFY THAT PASSENGER SEAT HARNESS IS ROUTED CORRECTLY

Verify that the Passenger Seat Harness is routed correctly.

Is the Passenger Seat Harness routed correctly?

Yes

Go To 5

Reroute the Passenger Seat Harness as necessary.
Perform *ORC VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

5. CHECK FOR DTC B1B95-PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN WITH PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR DISCONNECTED

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

Disconnect the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector.

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

Wait two minutes, and then with the scan tool, read ORC DTC.

Does the scan tool display: B1B95-PASSENGER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN?

Yes

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
Replace the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor in accordance with the service information.
Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1.

6. CHECK (R262) PASSENGER SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA CIRCUIT AND (R264) PASSENGER SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

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

Disconnect the ORC connectors.

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

Measure the voltage of the (R262) Passenger Seat Position Sensor Data circuit between the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector and ground.
Measure the voltage of the (R264) Passenger Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit between the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector and ground.

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if any of these conditions exist

Is the voltage above 0.2 volts on either circuit?

Yes

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1.

Go To 7

7. CHECK (R262) SEAT POSITION SENSOR DATA-PASSENGER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (R264) SEAT POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE-PASSENGER CIRCUIT

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

Measure the resistance between the (R262) Passenger Seat Position Sensor Data circuit and the (R264) Passenger Seat Position Sensor Voltage circuit in the Passenger Seat Track Position Sensor connector.

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair the Seat Harness. Replace the Seat Harness if any of these conditions exist

Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

Yes

Replace the Passenger Seat Harness in accordance with the service information.
Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1.

Replace the ORC in accordance with the Service information.
Perform the *ORC VERIFICATION TEST-VER 1.

8. TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION

With the scan tool, record and erase all DTC from the ORC.
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 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 DTC present?

Yes

Select the appropriate symptom from Symptom List.
