Pinpoint Test M: DTC B1882




Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test M: DTC B1882

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 46, Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner and circuits for the following faults:

- Resistance out of range
- Unexpected voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner

If a fault is detected, the RCM will store DTC B1882 in memory and send a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.

- DTC B1882 (Seatbelt Passenger Pretensioner Circuit Short to Battery) - When the RCM senses a short to battery on either passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner circuit, a fault will be indicated.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner
- RCM



PINPOINT TEST M: DTC B1882

WARNING: Never disassemble or tamper with safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors or probe the electrical connectors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
Inspection and Verification

NOTE: Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components should only be disconnected or reconnected when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS.

NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

-------------------------------------------------
M1 RETRIEVE RCM DTCs


NOTE: All RCM diagnosis will be carried out using Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) and status information. Refer to DTC Fault Reporting and Status Information. DTC Fault Reporting and Status Information

- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM.
- Select the DTC and view DTC Status information.
- Does the status information for DTC B1882 indicate a fault was present at the time of request?

Yes
This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC Status information indicates the fault is no longer present. GO to M2.

No
This is an intermittent fault. The DTC Status information indicates the fault was not present at time of request. GO to M4.

-------------------------------------------------
M2 CHECK THE PASSENGER SAFETY BELT RETRACTOR PRETENSIONER CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE


- Ignition OFF.
- Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
- Remove and disconnect passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner C303. Refer to Safety Belt Retractor and Pretensioner Removal and Installation in Restraint Systems.
- Disconnect: RCM C310A and C310B.
- Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time.
Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the passenger safety belt retractor pretensioner:
- C303-1, circuit 15S-JA34 (GN/BU), harness side and ground.
- C303-2, circuit 90-JA34 (BK/BU), harness side and ground.




- Is voltage present on either circuit?

Yes
REPAIR circuit 15S-JA34 (GN/BU) or 90-JA34 (BK/BU). GO to M6.

No
GO to M3.

-------------------------------------------------
M3 CONFIRM THE RCM FAULT


NOTE: Make sure all restraint system components and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the self-test. If not, DTCs will be recorded.

- Ignition OFF.
- Depower the SRS. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
- Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS component:
- inspect connector(s) (including any in-line connectors) for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
- inspect wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
- inspect RCM C310A and C310B Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lever/lock for correct operation. Refer to Restraints Control Module (RCM) Service and Repair.
- repair any concerns found.
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 5, Connector Repair Procedures for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

- Connect: RCM C310A and C310B.
- Connect: Passenger Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioner C303.
- Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - RCM.
- Select the DTC and view DTC Status information.
- Does the status information for DTC B1882 indicate a fault was present at the time of request?

Yes
INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to Restraints Control Module (RCM) Service and Repair. GO to M6.

No
In the process of diagnosing the fault, the fault condition has become intermittent. Do not install any new SRS components at this time. SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test. GO to M4.

-------------------------------------------------
M4 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT PASSENGER SEATBELT RETRACTOR PRETENSIONER SHORT TO VOLTAGE FAULT
