CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2005 Service Manual

²The ORC receives an occupant classification
message indicating that the passenger front seat is
empty.
²The seat is occupied by a load equal to or
greater than a fifth percentile female.
²OR, until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever of these three occurs first.
²Load Undetermined Occupant Classifica-
tion Message- Each time the ORC receives a mes-
sage from the OCM indicating that a load cannot be
determined in the passenger front seat, the passen-
ger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment cir-
cuits are deactivated and the PAD indicator will be
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until:
²The ORC receives an occupant classification
message indicating that the passenger front seat is
empty.
²The seat is occupied by a load equal to or
greater than a fifth percentile female.
²OR, until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever of these three occurs first.
²Communication Error- If the ORC receives
invalid occupant classification messages or no mes-
sages from the OCM, the PAD indicator is illumi-
nated. The indicator remains illuminated until:
²The ORC receives an occupant classification
message indicating that the passenger front seat is
empty.
²The seat is occupied by a load equal to or
greater than a fifth percentile female.
²OR, until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever of these three occurs first.
The ORC continually monitors the occupant classi-
fication messages from the OCM to decide whether
the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deploy-
ment circuits should be activated or deactivated.
Note that there may be several seconds of delay
between changes in the detected occupant status and
PAD indications. This is a programmed feature of the
OCM used to prevent a flashing indicator condition
resulting from the normal shifting of occupant weight
on the passenger seat cushion. The ORC then pro-
vides the proper control output to turn the PAD indi-
cator ON or OFF.
The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for any malfunction it detects. For proper
diagnosis of the OCM, the ORC, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the ORC that con-
trol the PAD indicator, use a scan tool and the appro-
priate diagnostic information.REMOVAL
(1) Open hood.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.

WARNING: Wait two minutes for the airbag system
reserve capacitor to discharge before beginning
any airbag system or component service. Failure to
do so may result in accidental airbag deployment,
personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not connect the battery negative
cable (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM). Per-
sonal injury or death may result if the system test
is not performed first.
WARNING: Following successful completion of the
Airbag System test procedure, the Occupant Classi-
fication System Verification Test must be done
using a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information.
(4) Close hood.
(5) Verify system and vehicle operation.

SEAT BELT TENSIONER
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt system incorporates Seat Belt Ten-
sioners. The tensioner is designed to hold the occu-
pant in their respective seat by retracting the seat
belt up to four inches. They are integral to the front
seat belt buckles and cannot be serviced. If found
defective they must be replaced. After an airbag
deployment, the tensioner must be replaced.
Seat Belt Tensioners supplement the dual front air-
bag system. The seat belt tensioners are integral to
the front seat belt buckles, which are secured to the
seat cushion frame on the inboard side. The seat belt
tensioners are controlled by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) and are connected to the vehicle
electrical system through the body wire harness.
The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire front seat belt buckle
must be replaced. The seat belt tensioners are not
intended for reuse and must be replaced following
any front airbag deployment.
OPERATION
WARNING: When the front airbag is deployed, the
tensioner will have deployed also and should be
replaced. Failure to do so could result in occupant
personal injury or death.
The seat belt tensioners are deployed by a signal
generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt ten-
sioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. When the
ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the tension-
ers, the electrical energy generates enough heat to
initiate a small pyrotechnic gas generator.
Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not
only keeps the occupants properly positioned for an
airbag deployment following a frontal impact of the
vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries that the
occupants of the front seat might experience in these
situations as a result of a harmful contact with the
steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel
and/or windshield.
The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt
tensioners through circuit resistance, and will illumi-
nate the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
For proper diagnosis of the seat belt tensioners, use a
scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.
SEAT WEIGHT BLADDER &
PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) have a seat weight bladder and pres-
sure sensor unit (Fig. 54) that is integral to the pas-
senger front seat cushion. The bladder is sandwiched
between the seat cushion pan and seat cushion foam.
The bladder consists of two rectangular sheets of
an elastomeric material and a molded plastic elbow
fitting. The two sheets of material are sealed
together around their perimeter and heat staked to
each other at numerous regular points within their
field. The elbow fitting is sealed to a small round
hole in the lower surface of the bladder and is
pointed downward where it passes through a clear-
ance hole in the insulator pad and extends to just
below the seat cushion. The bladder is then filled
with a silicone fluid to become a pliable, quilted
membrane.
