When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within the SDM itself.

In case of the driver side air bag inflation by side impact, the SDM maintains the warning lamp ON. The driver and passenger pretensioners, driver side module, driver side impact sensor, driver roof rail module and the SDM should be replaced. After replacement the entire system should be checked.

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

The history of the air bag inflation or the belt pretensioner explosion is in the SDM.

The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp.

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
