Circuit Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) runs continuous diagnostic tests on the system. When the ignition is turned on, the SDM will check to see if the correct components are installed for the vehicle configuration. If the SDM detects that a module has been replaced on the vehicle and has not been configured or a module has been configured incorrectly then the SDM will set a DTC B1019. If the SDM has been replaced, make sure that the correct part number was installed for this vehicle.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1019 System Configuration Error

This vehicle has DTCs which include DTC symptoms. For more information on DTC symptoms, refer to DTC Symptom Description in Vehicle DTC Information.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1019 symptom 00

    • The SDM was programmed with the wrong options for the vehicle.
    • The wrong SDM was installed for the content of the vehicle.
    • A module has been replace and has not been configure or a module has been configure incorrectly.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp via GMLAN serial data.
    • The SDM disables all deployments.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • The correct SDM must be installed.
    • The correct components must be installed.
    • All module has been configure correctly.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is an indication that an incorrect SDM is installed in the vehicle or a module has been replace and has not been configure or a module has been configure incorrectly.

Test Description

The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:

  1. This test checks for current SDM DTCs.

  2. This test checks to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the instrument panel module (IPM).

  3. This step explains that the IPM must be programmed.
