Circuit Description

When the ignition is turned ON, the following things happen in no specific order. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) compares the restraints ID that is stored in the SDM to the restraints ID that is stored in the body control module (BCM). The restraints ID that is being compared contains the last four digits of the SDM part number. The SDM compares the VIN that is stored in the SDM to the VIN that is stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) and the BCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range. (This test is only run once during power up initialization.)

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM does not match the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM or the VIN information that is stored in the SDM does not match the VIN information that is stored in the PCM and the BCM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.
    • The SDM disables all deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM matches the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM and the VIN information that is stored in the SDM matches the VIN information that is stored in the PCM and the BCM.

Diagnostic Aids

DTC B1001 is an indication that the restraints ID stored in both the BCM and SDM do not match or that the VIN stored in the PCM, BCM and SDM do not match. If either the BCM and/or PCM were replaced, the replacement modules need to be reprogrammed for proper operation.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step checks to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the PCM.

  2. This step checks to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the BCM.

  3. This step checks to see that the BCM is programmed with the correct SDM part number.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Select ID Information from the Powertrain menu on the scan tool to verify that the PCM is programmed with the correct VIN by comparing the VIN that is stored in the PCM to the VIN plate of the vehicle.

Is the PCM programmed with the correct VIN?
