Symptom:
ORC, NO CLUSTER MESSAGE - ACTIVE
When Monitored and Set Condition:
ORC, NO CLUSTER MESSAGE - ACTIVE
When Monitored: With the ignition in the On position, the ORC monitors the PCI Bus for
a message from the MIC containing the airbag warning lamp status. The MIC transmits
the message one time at ignition on, lamp state change, or in response to the ORC lamp
message.
Set Condition: If the MIC message is not received for 10 consecutive seconds, the code
will set.

Test Note: All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests.
The title for the tests will be ORC, WARNING INDICATOR
CIRCUIT OPEN - ACTIVE.
When Monitored and Set Condition:
ORC, WARNING INDICATOR CIRCUIT OPEN - ACTIVE
When Monitored: When the ignition is On, the ORC monitors the PCI Bus for a message
from the MIC containing the airbag warning lamp status Ok or Open. The MIC transmit
the message one time at ignition on, upon lamp state change,or in response to the ORC
lamp message.
Set Condition: The code is set if the lamp state is open for 2 consecutive messages or 2
seconds.
ORC, WARNING INDICATOR CIRCUIT SHORT - ACTIVE
When Monitored: When the ignition is On, the ORC monitors the PCI Bus for a message
from the MIC containing the airbag warning lamp status Ok or Shorted. The MIC transmit
the message one time at ignition on and upon lamp state change.
Set Condition: If the lamp state is Shorted for 2 consecutive messages the code will be set.
