Stratus Sedan V6-2.7L (2001)
Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
Component Description
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the impact sensor and energy reserve capacitor. The sensor is calibrated for the specific
vehicle and reacts to the severity and direction of the impact.
The ORC monitors the system to determine the system readiness. The ORC stores sufficient energy to deploy the airbags in case battery power is
lost prior to impact. The ORC contains on-board diagnostics, and illuminates the AIRBAG warning lamp in the cluster when a diagnostic trouble
code occurs. The warning equipment is tested for a few seconds every time the vehicle is started.
