For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.When Monitored:The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) continuously communicates with the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 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 1 do not establish and maintain valid data communications.Possible Causes(R14) SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY(R14) SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND(R14, R16) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 CIRCUITS SHORTED TOGETHER(R16) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN(R14) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPENOCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)1. VERIFY THAT DTC U0175-LOST COMMUNICATION W/RIGHT SIDE SATELLITE ACCELERATION SENSOR 1 Ensure the battery is fully charged.Turn the ignition on.With the scan tool, read ORC DTC.Does the scan tool display active: U0175-LOST COMMUNICATION W/RIGHT SIDE SATELLITE ACCELERATION SENSOR 1?YesGo To 2NoGo To 9 2. CHECK THE (R14) and (R16) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO BATTERY

To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.Disconnect the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector.Disconnect the ORC connectors.Connect the ORC 8443-32-L Adaptor to the ORC connector.To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.Measure the voltage of the (R14) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Signal circuit and (R16) Sensor Ground circuit at the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector and ground.Is there any voltage present?YesRepair the (R14) and (R16) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 circuits for a short to battery.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.NoGo To 33. CHECK THE (R14) and (R16) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn ignition on, then reconnect the battery.Measure the resistance of the (R14) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Signal circuit between the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector and ground.Measure the resistance of the (R16) Right Side Impact Sensor Ground circuit between the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector and ground.Is the resistance below 100K ohms on either circuit?YesRepair the (R14) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Signal or (R16) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Ground circuit for a short to ground.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.NoGo To 44. CHECK THE (R14) and (R16) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER

Measure the resistance between the (R14) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Signal and (R16) Sensor Ground circuits at the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector.Is the resistance below 100K ohms?YesRepair the (R14) and (R16) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 circuits shorted together.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.NoGo To 55. CHECK THE (R16) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Measure the resistance of the (R16) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Ground circuit between the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector and the ORC 8443-32-L Adaptor.Is the resistance below 1 ohm?YesGo To 6 NoRepair the (R16) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.6. CHECK THE (R14) RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Measure the resistance of the (R14) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Signal circuit between the Right Side Impact Sensor 1 connector and the ORC 8443-32-L Adaptor.Is the resistance below 1 ohm?YesGo To 7NoRepair the (R14) Right Side Impact Sensor 1 Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.7. CHECK OPERATION OF THE RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR 1Replace the Right Side Impact Sensor 1.Reconnect the vehicle body harness to the impact sensor.Remove any special tools or jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components - except the Battery.To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector - use the most current software available.Use the scan tool and erase the stored codes in all airbag system modules.Turn the Ignition Off, and wait 15 seconds before turning the Ignition On.Wait one minute, and read active codes and if there are none present read the stored codes.Did the active Right Side Impact Sensor 1 DTC return?YesGo To 8NoRepair is complete.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.8. REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLERTo avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.If the airbag control module is dropped at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and serious or fatal injury.If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.RepairReplace the Occupant Restraint Controller in accordance with Service Instructions.Perform the *AIRBAG SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.9. TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITIONWith the scan tool, record and erase all DTC from all Airbag modules.If any ACTIVE codes are present they must be resolved before diagnosing any stored codes.To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.The following additional checks may assist you in identifying a possible intermittent problem.Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector.To avoid serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.With the scan tool monitor active codes as you work through the following steps.To avoid serious or fatal injury, maintain a safe distance from all airbags while performing the following steps.Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors of the related airbag circuit or component.If codes are related to the Driver Airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.If only stored codes return continue the test until the problem area has been isolated.In the previous steps you have attempted to recreate the conditions responsible for setting active DTC in question.Are any ACTIVE DTC present?YesSelect the appropriate symptom from Symptom List.NoNo problem found at this time. Erase all codes before returning vehicle to customer.
