---|---|---|---|---|---|
Seat Belt Pretensioner Driver High Control | B0015 02 | B0015 0D | B0015 0E | B0015 01 | B0015 08 |
Seat Belt Pretensioner Driver Low Control | B0015 02 | B0015 0D | B0015 0E | B0015 01 | B0015 08 |
Seat Belt Pretensioner - Passenger High Control | B0022 02 | B0022 0D | B0022 0E | B0022 01 | B0022 08 |
Seat Belt Pretensioner - Passenger Low Control | B0022 02 | B0022 0D | B0022 0E | B0022 01 | B0022 08 |
During a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the seat belt pretensioner - driver. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. A shorting bar used within the seat belt pretensioner - driver connector which will short together both seat belt pretensioner - driver high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected, this will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the inflator module during servicing.
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
The seat belt pretensioner - driver high and/or low control circuit is shorted to voltage for 2 seconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - driver high and/or low control circuit is shorted to ground for 2 seconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - driver high and/or low control circuit is invalid during SDM initialization.
The seat belt pretensioner - driver deployment loop resistance is more than 5.5 ohms for 2 seconds.
The seat belt pretensioner - driver deployment loop resistance is less than 1.1 ohms for 2 seconds.
• | The SDM requests the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the AIR BAG indicator. |
• | The SDM will store a DTC, however if an event occurs the system will still attempt deployments. |
• | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 fault-free ignition cycles. |

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
• Seat belt buckle pretensioner - driver • SDM module • Seat belt buckle pretensioner - driver wiring harness connector • SDM wiring harness connector
Important: The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other. Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the shoring-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the SDM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuits for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the SDM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
