The impact sensors perform their own self test using power supplied by the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) then communicate this status back to the ORC with periodic updates. The repair of this fault
condition involves verifying the integrity of the wiring between the ORC and the sensor. Refer to the
enclosed graphic as a reference of specific Side Impact Satellite Acceleration, Side Impact Satellite
Pressure, and Up-Front Satellite Acceleration sensor locations on the vehicle. It is important to review this
graphic thoroughly to understand the specific area of diagnosis you are looking to complete.
The Up-Front Right and Up-Front Left Satellite Acceleration Sensors are located behind the Front End
Module carrier in the engine area. The number 1 side sensors are located in the 1st row door area with the
number 1 side sensor being on the passenger side (Right Side Satellite Pressure Sensor 1) and the number 1
side sensor also being on the driver side (Left Side Satellite Pressure Sensor 1). The number 4 side sensors
are located in the "B" pillar area just past the 1st row doors (these side sensors will be new side sensors to be
added for the 2011 model year). The number 4 side sensor is located on the passenger side (Right Side
Satellite Acceleration Sensor 4) and the number 4 side sensor is also located on the driver side (Left Side
Satellite Acceleration Sensor 4). The number 2 side sensors are located in the "C" pillar area just past the
2nd row doors. The number 2 side sensor is located on the passenger side (Right Side Satellite Acceleration
Sensor 2) and the number 2 side sensor is also located on the driver side (Left Side Satellite Acceleration
Sensor 2). The number 3 side sensors are located in the 3rd row area just above the rear axle. The number 3
side sensor is located on the passenger side (Right Side Satellite Acceleration Sensor 3) and the number 3
side sensor is also located on the driver side (Left Side Satellite Acceleration Sensor 3).
WHEN MONITORED:
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) continuously communicates with the Left Side Impact Sensor 4

over the sensor signal circuit. The sensor communication and on board diagnostics are powered by the ORC
signal.
SET CONDITION:
This code will set, if the ORC and the Left Side Impact Sensor 4 do not establish and maintain valid data
communications. The DTC will become Active after the fault has set for 2 to 3 seconds. The DTC will go to
Stored after the ORC to Left Side Impact Sensor 4 communication has recovered for 2.5 seconds.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Possible Causes

2. Reconnect the vehicle body harness to the impact sensor.
3. Remove any special tools or jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected
components - except the Battery.
WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery and
wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
4. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector - use the most current software available.
5. Use the scan tool and erase the stored codes in all airbag system modules.
6. Turn the Ignition Off, and wait five seconds before turning the Ignition On.
7. Wait one minute, and read active codes and if there are none present read the stored codes.
