What is a Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control module?

The Dodge Dart 1st Gen Airbag Control Unit, also known as the SRS-ORC, is the essential control center for your vehicle's safety systems. It continuously monitors the crash sensors, deploys the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners in the event of an accident, and stores important diagnostic data. This ensures optimal occupant protection for all occupants.

This module is the central component of the occupant protection system in the Dodge Dart 1st Gen.

It controls the activation of the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners by processing crash sensor data.

The control unit is coded at the factory for the specific vehicle identification number (VIN) and is therefore vehicle-specific.

Why is the Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control module defective?

A Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control unit often malfunctions because it stores crash data after an accident, triggering a fault condition. Internal electronic faults, surges, or short circuits can also impair function, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate and the system to no longer function properly. A Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control unit repair is then necessary.

After an impact, so-called crash data is irrevocably stored in the module.

This stored data causes the airbag warning light to remain permanently illuminated and the system to be blocked, even if there is no other damage.

In addition to crash data, internal component defects, moisture ingress or power fluctuations can also cause a failure.

Common error codes for Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control unit repair

When diagnosing the Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control module, specific B codes may occur that indicate problems within the control module's electronics. These codes, such as B000113 or B00012B, signal malfunctions in the driver-side airbag control circuits and require a thorough inspection of the module for a successful Dodge Dart 1st Gen airbag control module repair.

  • B000113 → Driver Frontal Squib 1 Control Circuit Open → Open control circuit for the first driver airbag squib.
  • B000213 → Driver Frontal Squib 2 Control Circuit Open → Open control circuit for the second driver airbag squib.
  • B000313 → Driver Frontal Squib 3 Control Circuit Open → Open control circuit for the third driver airbag squib.
  • B00012B → Driver Frontal Squib 1 Wires Short Together → Short circuit in the wires of the first driver airbag squib.
  • B00022B → Driver Frontal Squib 2 Wires Short Together → Short circuit in the wires of the second driver airbag squib.
  • B00032B → Driver Frontal Squib 3 Wires Short Together → Short circuit in the wires of the third driver airbag squib.

These error codes are manufacturer-specific B-codes and directly indicate a malfunction of the control unit.

The codes are typically read via OBD-II diagnostic devices and are crucial for the correct diagnosis.
