Circuit Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SIR system. The SDM monitors the I/P module disable switch-signal and I/P module disable switch indicator-control circuits in order to determine whether or not to disable the inflatable restraint I/P module. The SDM also monitors the I/P module disable switch-signal and the I/P module disable switch indicator-control circuits for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage condition.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The I/P module disable switch must be in the ON position. |
| • | The voltage detected in the I/P module disable switch indicator-control and the I/P module disable switch-signal circuits is less than 1 volt. |
| • | The voltage detected in the I/P module disable switch indicator-control and the I/P module disable switch-signal circuits is greater than 1 volt. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The SDM defaults to the OFF position, disabling the I/P module. |
| • | The SDM attempts to turn the inflatable restraint I/P module disable switch ON. |
| • | The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via Class 2 serial data. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred. |
Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction.
The following are possible causes of the malfunction:
| • | A short to ground or a short to voltage in the I/P module disable switch-signal circuit |
| • | A short to ground or a short to voltage in the I/P module disable switch indicator-control circuit |
| • | Damage or corrosion on the I/P module disable switch harness connector |
| • | Damage or corrosion on the I/P module disable switch indicator harness connector |
| • | Damage or corrosion on the SDM harness connector |
| • | An internal I/P module disable switch malfunction |
| • | An internal I/P module disable switch indicator malfunction |
| • | An internal SDM malfunction |
If an intermittent condition exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
This step tests to see if there is an open or high resistance in the I/P module disable switch.
-
This step tests to see if there is a short to ground or a short to voltage in the I/P module disable switch-signal circuit.
-
This step tests to see if there is a short to ground or a short to voltage in the I/P module disable switch indicator-control circuit.
