The inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) utilizes a unidirectional 2-wire circuit. The SIS modulates current on the interface to send ID, state of health (SOH), and deployment commands to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM serves as a power source and a ground for the SIS. When the ignition is turned ON and input power from the SDM is first detected, the SIS responds by performing internal diagnostics and sending an ID to the SDM. The SDM considers the ID to be valid if the response time is less than 5 seconds. The SIS continually communicates status messages to the SDM, which determines if a fault is present in the SIS circuit. When a fault is detected, the SDM resets the SIS twice by removing and reapplying power to it. If the fault is still present, the SDM will set a DTC.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

The passenger side impact sensor (SIS) is inoperative.

The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.

Note: When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.

•

The SIS

•	The SDM module

•	The SIS wiring harness connector

•	The SDM wiring harness connector

1. Ignition ON, use the scan tool as clear SIR codes then recheck for DTCs. Verify that DTC B1404 or B1405 is not set.

⇒	If DTC B1403 is set current, replace the passenger SIS.

2. Reconnect all SIR components. Ignition ON, use the scan tool to clear the DTCs then recheck for DTCs. Verify no DTCs are set.

⇒	If DTC B1403 was current, replace the SDM.
