CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
1. Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
4. With the scan tool, read and record Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
5. With the scan tool, erase ABS DTCs.
  WARNING:
  To avoid possible serious or fatal injury, check brake capability is available before road testing.
6. Test drive the vehicle straight with speeds above 15 km/h (9 mph).
7. Park the vehicle on level ground.
8. With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Go To Next Step.
  No
  - Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. Refer to BSCM INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECK FOR OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC) DTCs
1. Refer to the recorded DTCs.
  Are there any ORC related DTCs present?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
  No
  - Go To Next Step.
PERFORM THE ABSO INITIALIZATION ROUTINE
NOTE:
The ABS Initialization must be performed on a level surface with the wheels pointing straight.

LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL ACCELERATION
1. On a flat surface with the scan tool, monitor the Longitudinal and Lateral Acceleration.
  Is the Longitudinal and Lateral Acceleration outside of ±2.25 meters/sec^2 ?
  
  Yes
  - Go To Next Step.
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK THE ORC INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) installation and mounting bolt torque is crucial for proper operation.
