In today’s technological world, car manufacturers are constantly striving to make cars safer and more reliable. One of the most important components of a car’s safety system is the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The Dodge B0001-13 Code is an error code that is triggered when the ORC fails to send a test current to the squibs, which are in charge of verifying the integrity of the squib and wiring. This error code is related to a circuit open issue, and it can be caused by a range of issues, including DRIVER SQUIB 1 LINE 2 CIRCUIT OPEN, DRIVER SQUIB 1 LINE 1 CIRCUIT OPEN, STEERING CONTROL MODULE, DRIVER AIRBAG and OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC). In order to diagnose and fix this problem, the SRS Load Tool needs to be used to substitute a suspect squib with a known good component, and the Adapter, Supplemental Restraint System Load Tool provides a test point to open the shorting bar connections within the harness connector.
