Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will perform turn-on test to diagnose critical malfunctions within SDM itself.
Upon passing 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 deployment loops.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B1383 RF Side Deployment Loop Resistance Low
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The resistance of the right side air bag deployment loop is lower than 1.4 ohms. |
| • | The shorting bar is damaged and the SDM must be replaced. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
