B220B RAM Description
When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) performs an internal self test. The repair of this fault condition does not involve any external circuitry and centers on verifying the integrity of the module’s internal circuitry and software validity.
The ORC checks the status of firing stored energy circuit at power up during the initialization process, and continuously through the ignition cycle.
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when a fault is detected internal to ORC firing stored energy circuit. Once set, this DTC is latched permanently and the ORC must be replaced.
