When you first turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The SDM monitors the voltage levels at the PSIR enable and PSIR disable terminals of the SDM to determine the position of the inflatable restraint IP module switch. The SDM then performs the following continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops:
• | Deployment loop voltage out of range test |
• | Deployment loop resistance measurement test |
If the voltage out of range test detects a short to voltage condition, the resistance measurement test for that deployment loop will not be performed.
• | Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range. |
• | PSIR enable circuit is not shorted to voltage. |
• | PSIR disable circuit is not shorted to voltage. |
• | The voltage detected at PSIR enable terminal and PSIR disable terminal are less than 1.0 volts when the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LED is commanded OFF. |
• | The voltage detected at PSIR enable terminal and PSIR disable terminal are greater than 1.0 volt when the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LED is commanded ON. |
• | The inflatable restraint IP module switch is defaulted to a calibrated state. |
• | The SDM commands ON the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LED via Class 2 serial data. |
• | You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
When the SDM detects that no DTCs are present, the SDM commands the AIR BAG warning lamp OFF.
The following can cause an intermittent condition:
• | A short between the PSIR enable and PSIR disable circuits. |
• | Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
Test determines if the AIR BAG ON lamp illuminates when the inflatable restraint IP module switch is in the ON position.
Tests for a poor connection at the inflatable restraint IP module switch harness connector.
Tests for a poor connection at the inflatable restraint IP module LED harness connector.
Tests for a poor connection at the inflatable restraint IP module LED connector.
Tests for an open or high resistance in the inflatable restraint IP module LED.
Test determines whether the malfunction is in the inflatable restraint IP module switch ground circuit.
Test determines whether the malfunction is in the power feed circuit between the fuse block and the inflatable restraint IP module switch.
Tests for proper contact or corrosion of the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector.
Tests for an open or high resistance in the passenger SIR enable circuit.
Tests for a short to ground in the passenger SIR enable circuit.
Tests for a short to voltage in the passenger SIR enable circuit.
Tests for a short between the passenger SIR enable and disable circuits.
