Circuit Description
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.
Upon passing this 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.
If the resistance is 2-10 kilo ohms, the defect may occur depending upon SDM. The normal resistance is over 10 kilo ohms.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The air bag wiring of the driver high is shorted to ground. |
| • | The air bag wiring of the driver low is shorted to ground. |
