FCM, ORC RUN-START DRIVER OPEN - ACTIVE ÐContinued

Symptom List:
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OPEN - ACTIVE
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OVER CURRENT - ACTIVE
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OVER TEMP - ACTIVE
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OVER VOLT - ACTIVE
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER SHORT TO GROUND - ACTIVE
Test Note: All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests.
The title for the tests will be FCM, SIACM RUN-START
DRIVER OPEN - ACTIVE.
When Monitored and Set Condition:
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OPEN - ACTIVE
When Monitored: When the ignition is turned OFF, the microprocessor controlled
transistor (high side driver) places a diagnostic voltage on the SIACM Run-Start circuit for
60 seconds. An open high side driver (HSD) circuit voltage is between 2.4 and 5.0 volts.
Set Condition: This code will set within 10 second, if the microprocessor senses 2.4 to 5.0
volts on the HSD. Note: the diagnostic voltage will only last for 60 seconds after the
ignition is turned off.
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OVER CURRENT - ACTIVE
When Monitored: The FCM uses a microprocessor controlled transistor (high side driver)
to supply power to the SIACM. The microprocessor monitors the high side driver (HSD)
internal temperature when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
Set Condition: The code will set within 1 second, if the microprocessor senses high HSD
internal temperature. The high temperature is caused by over current.
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OVER TEMP - ACTIVE
When Monitored: The FCM uses a microprocessor controlled transistor (high side driver)
to supply power to the SIACM. The microprocessor monitors high side driver (HSD)
internal temperature when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
Set Condition: The code will set within 2.5 second, if the microprocessor senses high HSD
internal temperature. The high temperature is caused by over current.
FCM, SIACM RUN-START DRIVER OVER VOLT - ACTIVE
When Monitored: The FCM uses a microprocessor controlled transistor (high side driver)
to supply power to the SIACM circuit. The microprocessor monitors the battery voltage
when the ignition is in the run or start position.
Set Condition: The code will set if the microprocessor senses the battery voltage is over
30 volts.

LEFT SIACM ACCELEROMETER 1 - ACTIVE ÐContinued

LEFT SIACM, SEAT SQUIB SHORT TO GROUND - STORED
When Monitored: When the ignition is on, the Left SIACM monitors the resistance of the
left Seat Squib circuits for low resistance.
Set Condition: The Left SIACM has detected a short to ground in the left Seat Squib
circuits.
ORC, INTERROGATE LEFT SIACM - STORED
When Monitored: With ignition on, the ORC monitors the PCI Bus for a Left SIACM
status message containing the airbag warning lamp9On or OFF9request. The status
message is sent to the ORC once each second or upon any change in the active DTCs.
Set Condition: The Code will set, if the ORC receives an9Lamp On9status message from
the Left SIACM. NOTE: This indicates that there was an active diagnostic trouble code in
the Left SIACM.
ORC, NO LEFT SIACM MESSAGE - STORED
