When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform a turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.
The test ignition and deployment loop voltages are measured to ensure that they are within their normal voltage ranges. The SDM monitors the voltages at the driver low and the passenger low to detect shorts to ground or voltage in the deploy loops. The SDM inspects the wiring connection to the passenger air bag module by letting the infinitesimal current flow through the internal circuit and verify the resistance.
The resistance of the passenger side air bag deployment loop is over 2.8 ohms.
