B1B09-PASSENGER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT HIGH

Theory of Operation
When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) sends a test current to the squibs to verify the integrity of the squib and wiring. These
circuits are maintained in a "floating" configuration at the module (connected to neither power nor ground), as protection against inadvertent
deployment. Use of the SRS Load Tool Kit 8443A in the tests below substitutes a suspect squib with a known good component. The use of the SRS
Load Tool Adapter provides a test point as well as a method for opening the shorting bar connections within the harness connector.
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the voltage on the Passenger Squib 1 circuits.
- Set Condition:
When the ORC has detected voltage on the Passenger Squib 1 circuits.
