Ignition 1 Circuit | B1370 06 | -- | B1370 06 | B1370 01 | B1370 06 |
Circuit/System Description
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) monitors the ignition 1 signal from the ignition switch. When the vehicle ignition switch is placed in the RUN or CRANK position the switch supplies voltage to the SDM ignition 1 input terminal. If an open, short to voltage, or short to ground in this SDM ignition 1 circuit is detected then DTC B1370 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The following conditions exist for at least 10 seconds.
B1370 01
The SDM detects a short to battery in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the switch is in the OFF position.
B1370 06
The SDM detects a short to ground or an open in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the ignition switch is in RUN or CRANK.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
| • | The SDM stores the DTC to memory. |
| • | The SDM determines its power mode only from the GMLAN power mode messages and discards the ignition 1 input for the remainder of the ignition cycle. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
A history DTC maybe caused by an intermittent short or open in the ignition 1 circuit.

Circuit/System Testing
Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected.
• SDM • SDM wiring harness
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the SDM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector or remove the airbag fuse at the underhood fuse block.
- Ignition OFF, test for less then 1 ohm between the SDM ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 33 and the under hood fuse block terminal at the airbag fuse.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the SDM ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 33 and ground.
- Ignition ON, test for less then 1 volt between the SDM ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 33 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM.
| ⇒ | If greater then the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground. |
| ⇒ | If greater then the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
