B2736 RAM Description
The Pedestrian Protection Satellite Sensors perform internal self-tests and communicate the sensors status using power supplied by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The sensor communicates this internal failure message using the sensor signal circuit. If the scan tool shows this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has a Stored history of setting then the PPS Sensor is to be replaced.
This DTC sets when the ORC receives notification of a self test failure within the impact sensor within 100 ms for continuous test and 1 second for startup test. Once set, this DTC is latched for the entire ignition cycle or until the clear faults scan tool command is used, depending on the specific condition that sets the DTC.
