Code B0001 CHRYSLER
Possible Causes
Potential origins of code B0001 include:
- Faulty driver airbag.
- Driver airbag wiring harness open or short-circuited.
- Faulty electrical connection in the driver airbag circuit.
- Faulty clockspring in the steering wheel.
- Faulty Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
How to Fix Code B0001?
- Check the mentioned items:
- Visually inspect the wiring harness and connectors related to the airbag.
- Look for damage such as broken, bent, corroded pins, or exposed wires.
- In-depth diagnosis:
- Check the operation of the steering wheel clockspring and replace if necessary.
- Test the integrity of the driver airbag squib and the ORC controller using the specific Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) toolkit.
- If the squib or circuits show signs of short circuit or open circuit, perform repairs or replace faulty components.
- Specific codes:
- B0001-2B: Squib wires shorted together.
- B0001-11: Squib circuit shorted to ground.
- B0001-12: Squib circuit shorted to battery.
- B0001-13: Squib circuit open.
- Replace faulty components:
If a squib or part of the circuit is suspected, replace it with a functional component using the SRS load tool adapter to ensure safe handling.
Possible Symptoms
- Airbag warning light illuminated.
Meaning of Code B0001 CHRYSLER
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) performs current tests to ensure the integrity of the squibs (driver airbag) and their wiring. These circuits are designed to prevent accidental deployment through a floating configuration (not connected to power or ground).
Using a specialized SRS tool allows for safe diagnosis, testing, and replacement of a squib or related components.
