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.
In case of the 1st stage air bag inflation by a vehicle collision, the SDM maintains the warning lamp ON and all the air bag systems including the SDM, air bag module, and wiring should be replaced.
