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 SDM itself.
These 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.
The SDM inspects the wiring connection to battery by letting the perpetual current flow through the internal circuit and verify the resistance. If the voltage is out of range, the SDM is unable to inspect the air bag system properly.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The voltage supplied from the battery is over 16.5 volts.
