OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS CONTROLLER (ORC) INSTALLED/LOOSE OR WIRING HARNESS DAMAGE
NOTE:
Occupant Restraints Controller (ORC) installation and mounting bolt torque is crucial for proper operation.

WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check the ORC for damaged, modified, and or bent mounting brackets.
3. Check the ORC mounting bolts for a loose or over tightened condition.
4. Verify the correct ORC part number matches the vehicle.
5. Check all related wiring for bruised, chafed, pierced, or partially broken wires.
6. Check all related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
ABS INITIALIZATION ROUTINE
NOTE:
The ABS Initialization must be performed on a level surface with the wheels pointing straight.
