Passenger Pressure Sensor Open

PASSENGER PRESSURE SENSOR OPEN

WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition on.

SET CONDITION
If the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) detects voltage above the high threshold on the Passenger Bladder Pressure Sensor Signal circuit.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

1. DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

NOTE: Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition on.

SELECT ACTIVE or STORED DTC:

ACTIVE DTC
Refer to Belt Tension Sensor / Pressure Sensor Faults for the diagnostic procedure. Belt Tension Sensor / Pressure Sensor Faults

STORED DTC
Go To 2

2. INSPECT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) WIRING AND CONNECTORS FOR CONDITIONS THAT CAUSED THE DTC(s) TO SET

NOTE: Diagnose and repair all active codes before diagnosing stored codes. Refer to Trouble Code Diagnostic Charts for a complete list of airbag system diagnostic procedures.

With the scan tool, record and erase all Airbag System Module DTCs.

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT TWO MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING.

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the related wiring and connectors for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires, and for broken, bent, pushed out, corroded, and contaminated terminals.

Q: Are any of these conditions present?

YES:

WARNING: IF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM) IS DROPPED AT ANY TIME, IT MUST BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

NOTE: The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and the Passenger Seat Bladder and Cushion Kit are the only serviceable OCS components.

Replace the OCS Bladder and Cushion Kit.
Perform System Verification Required test. System Verification Required - OCSVR
Perform AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Airbag System Verification Test

NO: Go To 3

3. TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Reconnect all disconnected components and harness connectors.

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, TURN THE IGNITION ON, THEN RECONNECT THE BATTERY.

With the scan tool, monitor for active codes while performing the following:
- Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related circuit.
- Continue the test until either a code becomes active or the problem area is isolated.

In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting the DTC in question / causing the intermittent condition.

Q: Are any ACTIVE DTCs present?

YES: Select the appropriate diagnostic procedure from Trouble Code Diagnostic Charts.
NO: No problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning the vehicle to the customer.
