If one or more PID measurement reads 0 Ohms, identify and repair the airbag firing loop circuit(s) that are shorted to other firing loop circuit(s). DO
NOT replace the RCM again.
SERVICE PROCEDURE - VEHICLES WITHOUT SIDE AIRBAGS
1.
Disconnect the forward (front) impact severity (crash) sensor and attempt to clear the B1342 DTC.
a.
If the B1342 clears and only a B2296 remains, replace the front impact severity sensor. Clear DTCs and return the vehicle to the customer.
b.
If DTC B1342 is still present after disconnecting the front impact sensor and after attempting to clear DTCs, proceed to Step 2.
2.
Check circuits to the impact sensor for shorts to ground, verify power and ground circuits to RCM.
a.
If concerns are found, repair wiring as necessary, clear DTCs and return vehicle to the customer.
b.
If no power or ground related faults are found, replace the RCM. Clear DTCs and return vehicle to the customer.
(1)
If B1342 is present after replacing RCM, a cross-circuit (short) between airbag or pretensioner firing loops may be the cause. Proceed to
CROSS - CIRCUIT SHORT DIAGNOSIS.
