Crossfire SRT-6 V6-3.2L SC VIN N (2005)
Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is located on the floor beneath the center console. It is secured by four screws to a stamped steel mounting
bracket.
The arrow which is printed on the label located on the top of the ORC housing (1) provides a visual verification of the proper orientation and should
always face the front of the vehicle.
The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted, and if damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the
SRS components. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and Controller Area Network (CAN) to communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well as with the DRBIII(R) scan tool.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) microprocessor continuously monitors all of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) electrical circuits to
determine the system status. If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and a stored Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC). A message is sent to the Instrument Cluster (IC) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to illuminate the airbag
warning indicator lamp.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) also monitors the seat belt switch which is located internal to each of the front seat belt buckles to determine
