With the ignition key in the OFF-UNLOCKED position, the AIR BAG warning lamp will illuminate steady. In the RUN position, the ignition switch applies battery voltage to the AIR BAG Fuse and to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) IGNITION 1 input terminal 10. The SDM responds by commanding the instrument cluster, via SERIAL DATA (UART) line (CKT 800), to flash the AIR BAG warning lamp seven times. If serial data communication is lost between the SDM and the instrument cluster, the AIR BAG indicator will come on steady, with a DTC B1061 set. If IGNITION 1 voltage to the SDM is outside of the normal operating range, the AIR BAG warning lamp will come on steady with no DTCs set.
The SDM receives an AIR BAG warning lamp fault message five consecutive times, via the SERIAL DATA (UART) line, from the instrument cluster and the SDM has not received a request from the instrument cluster to communicate, via the SERIAL DATA (UART) line, for six seconds.
