Circuit Description
The ignition switch supplies ignition 1 voltage to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) using the F8 fuse. The ignition switch also supplies battery voltage to the AIR BAG indicator using the F4 fuse. The AIR BAG indicator is connected to the AIR BAG indicator output of the SDM. When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position, the SDM responds by flashing the AIR BAG indicator 7 times.
Diagnostic Aids
In order to disable the shorting bar between the air bag indicator control circuit and ground inside the SDM wiring harness connector, the following 2 conditions must be met:
| • | The SDM wiring harness connector must be properly connected to the SDM. |
| • | The connector position assurance (CPA) must be properly installed in the SDM wiring harness connector. |
