B210E-BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH

Additional Wiring

For complete wiring diagrams, refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .

Theory Of Operation

The Occupant Restraint Controller module (ORC) receives power from both a battery and ignition fed input
circuit from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). These circuits power the ORC and the capacitors
used to initiate the squib deployment circuits in the event of collision detection.

Monitor Conditions

 When Monitored:

The Occupant Restraint Module (ORC) monitors the battery voltage and ignition continuously.

Set Conditions

 Set Condition:

This code is set immediately after the Occupant Restraint Module (ORC) detects that voltage on the
battery voltage supply circuit is 17.45 ± 1.45 volts or more for greater than 15 seconds.

Possible Causes

Possible Causes
CHARGING SYSTEM VOLTAGE HIGH
TOTALLY INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE (TIPM)
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. See DTC-Based
Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure.

Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK PCM FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS

NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged.

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.

Are there any Charging System DTCs set in the Powertrain/Engine Control Module?

Yes

 Refer to Electrical - Engine Systems/Charging - Diagnosis and Testing .

No

Go to step 2


2. DETERMINE ACTIVE OR STORED DTC

1. With the scan tool, read all active ORC DTCs.

Is the DTC active or stored?

ORC - ACTIVE DTC

 Go to step 3

ORC - STORED DTC

Perform RESTRAINTS SYSTEM INTERMITTENT TEST. See DTC-Based


Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure.
3. CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE ORC

WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two
minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

1. Disconnect the ORC harness connectors.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean and repair as necessary.

2. Connect the Load Tool ORC 8443-28 Adaptor to the ORC connectors.

WARNING: Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12-volt battery. Wait
two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

3. Measure the voltage of the (A27) Fused B+ circuit between the Load Tool ORC 8443-28
Adaptor and ground.

Is the voltage 17.45 ± 1.45 volts or more?

Yes

WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and
wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or
fatal injury.

 Repair the (A27) Fused B+ circuit and the (F201) Fused Run/Start Relay Output circuit.
 Perform RESTRAINTS SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based
Diagnostics/CONTROLLER, Occupant Restraint (ORC) - Standard Procedure.

No

WARNING: If the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is dropped

at any time, it must be replaced. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal
injury.

WARNING: Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and
wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or

fatal injury.

 Replace the ORC in accordance with Service Information.
