Circuit Description

When the ignition is turned ON, the following things happen in no specific order. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) compares the restraints ID that is stored in the SDM to the restraints ID that is stored in the body control module (BCM). The restraints ID that is being compared contains the last four digits of the SDM part number. The SDM compares the VIN that is stored in the SDM to the VIN that is stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) and in the BCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range. This test is only run once during power up initialization.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM does not match the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM or the VIN information that is stored in the SDM does not match the VIN information that is stored in the PCM and/or the BCM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG warning lamp via Class 2 serial data.
    • The SDM disables all deployment loops.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The restraints ID that is stored in the SDM matches the restraints ID that is stored in the BCM and the VIN information that is stored in the SDM matches the VIN information that is stored in the PCM and in the BCM.

Diagnostic Aids

DTC B1001 is an indication that the restraints ID's stored in both the BCM and SDM do not match or that the VIN stored in the PCM, BCM, and SDM do not match. If either the BCM and/or PCM were replaced, the replacement modules need to be reprogrammed for proper operation.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step checks to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the powertrain control module (PCM).

  2. This step checks to see if the body control module (BCM) has been replaced.

  3. This step explains the proper steps to perform after a BCM has been replaced in order for the BCM to operate properly.

  4. This step checks to see if the correct VIN is programmed in the BCM.

  5. This step explains how to properly program the VIN into the BCM.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Select ID Information from the PCM menu on the scan tool to verify that the PCM is programmed with the correct VIN by comparing the VIN that is stored in the PCM to the VIN plate of the vehicle.

Is the PCM programmed with the correct VIN?

Follow the instructions on the scan tool under the BCM SPECIAL FUNCTIONS to reprogram the BCM. Refer to cell-id="8878">BCM Programming/RPO Configuration> in Body Control System. This allows the BCM to learn the Restraints ID from the SDM.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Replace the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). Refer to cell-id="57768">Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement> or cell-id="57768">Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module Replacement> .

Did you complete the replacement?

  1. Reconnect all SIR components.
  2. Verify that all components and connectors are properly mounted.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
