B2722-00: ORC Unlocked, Deployment Disabled

Stored crash data

What B2722-00 means

The ORC allows deployment only while it is satisfied with its own condition and with the vehicle around it. When something moves it out of that armed state, it disables every firing output at once instead of picking and choosing. B2722-00 is the entry it makes when the restraints have been put fully out of service that way.

Owners usually meet this code after a crash or after a module has been moved between vehicles. It reads as a module level condition rather than a single circuit complaint, so chasing one connector is rarely the answer. What matters first is knowing whether the module also holds a deployment record and where the module came from.

Common causes

• A crash event that left the module in a disabled state with deployment locked out
• Stored deployment data already present in the controller from an earlier event
• A used module installed from a vehicle whose restraints had already fired
• Faults elsewhere in the restraint system severe enough for the module to take everything offline
• An interrupted service or programming procedure that left the controller in a disabled state

Crash data or hardware fault?

Our lookup files this with crash data because it describes the module holding the restraints out of service rather than reporting a live resistance reading. That is the opposite of a circuit code, where a measurement swings back into range and the fault clears itself as soon as the wiring is repaired.

Does our reset clear it?

A mail-in reset is the right service when the module is disabled because of stored crash data. Finish the physical repairs, pull the ORC, and send it to us so the stored data is cleared and the module can arm again. If the module is disabled for another reason, we will find that on the bench and tell you what we see. Call 501-988-0611 if you want to talk through your situation before shipping.

Which makes throw it

For B2722-00 our lookup carries one make, Ram. It turns up most on trucks that have been in a collision and on trucks running a restraint module that came out of another vehicle.

What to do next

Establish the history first, since a module that was in a wreck and a module that came from a salvage yard lead to different repairs. Scan for other stored codes, because a deployment record or a serious circuit fault alongside this one explains the disabled state. Replace any fired restraints with genuine OEM parts and fix the wiring, then send the module in for reset so the system can arm. Related codes: B220B-00, B2734-13, B0052.
