When the ignition is turned ON, the passenger presence system (PPS) and the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The PPS is used to monitor the weight of an occupant in the front passenger seat. If the pressure from the occupant's weight is less than a specified value or an empty seat is detected, the PPS module will send a suppress signal to the SDM to disable the instrument panel (I/P) module. When the PPS detects a fault within itself, then the PPS will communicate to the SDM through serial data communications that a PPS fault is present. The SDM will disable the deployment of the module and then turn the AIR BAG indicator ON.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

This DTC is set when the SDM has commanded an air bag deployment while the PPS has determined that the front passenger seat has one the following conditions:

Any of the codes will set along with one of the following latched codes: DTC B0052, B0053, or B0055 and cannot be cleared.

1. Ignition OFF, verify that the vehicle does not show any signs of inflator module or pretensioner deployment.

⇒	If the vehicle displays any signs of inflator deployment, refer to Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision .

2. Verify DTC B0052, B0053, or B0055 is not set.

⇒	If DTC is set , refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

3. Clear DTCs. Verify DTC B0056, B0057, or B0058 is not set.

⇒	If any of the DTCs are set, replace the SDM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
