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 they are within the 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.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The side air bag sensor wiring of the passenger high is shorted to ground. |
| • | The side air bag sensor wiring of the passenger low is shorted to ground. |

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - SIR? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Is the air bag wiring damaged? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 3 |
3 | Measure the resistance between the SDM and the high, low terminal of the passenger side air bag sensor and the ground. Is the resistance equal to the specified value? | 10 K ohms | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Replace the air bag wiring. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | -- | |
5 |
Is DTC 085 still shown as a current fault? | -- | Go to Step 6 | |
6 | Replace the passenger side air bag sensor. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | -- | |
