Circuit/System Description For an overview of the component/system, refer to: Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System Description and Operation The F112D Seat Belt Retractor — Driver and F112P Seat Belt Retractor — Passenger are pyrotechnic units that contain an ignitor, which, when supplied with voltage, ignites the propellant in the gas generator. The F112 Seat Belt Retractors are respectively located on the driver and passenger center pillars. The deployment loop has a high control circuit that will supply voltage to deploy the pretensioner and a low control that will supply ground to deploy the pretensioner. The F112D Seat Belt Retractor — Driver uses circuit 3477 as high control and circuit 3478 as low control. The F112P Seat Belt Retractor — Passenger uses circuit 3475 as high control and circuit  3476 as low control. Based on inputs from the impact sensors, the K36 Restraints Control Module will command deployment of the F112 Seat Belt Retractors by simultaneously applying voltage to the high control circuit, and ground to the low control circuit Conditions for Setting the DTC B007E 11 Circuit 3477 or circuit 3478 is shorted to ground for 2 s B007F 11 Circuit 3475 or circuit 3476 is shorted to ground for 2 s B007E 12 Circuit 3477 or circuit 3478 is shorted to voltage for 2 s B007F 12 Circuit 3475 or circuit 3476 is shorted to voltage for 2 s B007E 13 Circuit 3477 or circuit 3478 is open for 2 s B007F 13 Circuit 3475 or circuit 3476 is open for 2 s B007E 1B Circuit 3477 or circuit 3478 resistance is greater than 4.2 Ω for 2 s B007F 1B Circuit 3475 or circuit 3476 resistance is greater than 4.2 Ω for 2 s B007E 1A Circuit 3477 or circuit 3478 resistance is less than 1.4 Ω for 2 s B007F 1A Circuit 3475 or circuit 3476 resistance is less than 1.4 Ω for 2 s Action Taken When the DTC Sets Airbag Indicator ON. Conditions for Clearing the DTC The condition for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Diagnostic Aid

  1. Verify the appropriate scan tool Deployment Loop Resistance parameters stay consistently between 2.1 and 4.0 Ω: F112D Seat Belt Retractor — Driver F112P Seat Belt Retractor — Passenger ⇒ If less than 2.1 Ω or greater than 4.0 Ω Refer to Circuit/System Testing. ⇓ If between 2.1–4.0 Ω without any spikes or dropouts
  2. A fault is not currently present and may be an intermittent condition. Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF.
  2. Verify the SIR system is disabled.
  3. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate F112 Seat Belt Retractor.
  4. Test for greater than 25 Ω between the control circuit terminals 1 and circuit terminal 2. ⇒ If 25 Ω or less 4.1. Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K36 Restraints Control Module. 4.2. Verify the appropriate circuits are not shorted together: DTC B007E = Circuit 3477 and circuit 3478 DTC B007F = Circuit 3475 and circuit 3476 ⇒ If a short between the circuit is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If a short between the circuits is not found 4.3. Replace the K36 Restraints Control Module. ⇓ If greater than 25 Ω
  5. Ignition ON.
  6. Verify the SIR system is disabled.
  7. Test for less than 11 V between each control circuit terminal listed below and ground: Control circuit terminal 1 Control circuit terminal 2 ⇒ If 11 V or greater 7.1. Test the following circuits for a short to voltage: DTC B007E = Circuit 3477 and circuit 3478 DTC B00013 = Circuit 3475 and circuit 3476 ⇒ If a short to voltage is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If a short to voltage is not found 7.2. Replace the K36 Restraints Control Module. ⇓ If less than 11 V
  8. Ignition OFF.
  9. Verify the SIR system is disabled.
  10. Test for greater than 25 Ω between each control circuit terminal listed below and ground: Control circuit terminal 1 Control circuit terminal 2 ⇒ If 25 Ω or less 10.1. Test the following circuits for a short to ground: DTC B007E = Circuit 3477 and circuit 3478 DTC B000213 = Circuit 3475 and circuit 3476 ⇒ If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If a short to ground is not found 10.2. Replace the K36 Restraints Control Module. ⇓ If greater than 25 Ω
  11. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminals 1 and 2, ignition ON.
  12. Verify the scan tool Deployment Loop Resistance parameter is less than 2 Ω. ⇒ If 2 Ω or greater 12.1. Verify the SIR system is disabled. 12.2. Test the following circuits for an open/high resistance: DTC B007E = Circuit 3477 and circuit 3478 DTC B007F = Circuit 3475 and circuit 3476 ⇒ If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If an open/high resistance is not found 12.3. Replace the K36 Restraints Control Module. ⇓ If less than 2 Ω
  13. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the appropriate F112 Seat Belt Retractor, press in the CPA (if equipped) until an audible and/or tactile click is heard.
  14. Ignition ON, clear DTCs. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
  15. Verify DTC B007E or B007F is not set. ⇒ If DTC B007E or B007F is set Replace the appropriate F112 Seat Belt Retractor. ⇓ If DTC B007E or B007F is not set
