B1B76
B1B76-RIGHT SIDE SATELLITE ACCELERATION SENSOR 2 INTERNAL
2010 Jeep Truck Grand Cherokee SRT-8 V8-6.1L Page 198
Theory of Operation
The impact sensors perform their own self-test using power supplied by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) then communicates 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.
- When Monitored:
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) continuously communicates with the Right Side Impact Sensor 2 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 Right Side Impact Sensor 2 do not establish and maintain valid data communications.
