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.
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 the driver side air bag module by letting the perpetual current flow through the internal circuit and verify the resistance.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The side air bag wiring of the driver high is shorted to ground. |
| • | The side air bag wiring of the driver low is shorted to ground. |

1 |
Has the SDM discharged? | -- | Go to Step 2 | -- |
2 | Visually inspect any damage for the air bag wiring. 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 driver side air bag module 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. Is the replacement complete? | -- | -- | |
5 |
Is the DTC removed? | -- | Go to Step 6 | |
6 | Replace the driver side air bag module. Is the replacement complete? | -- | -- | |
