When you first turn the ignition switch to the ON position, the inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The SDM monitors the voltages at PASSENGER SEAT LOW terminal 1 to calculate the combined resistance of the passenger seat module and its associated wiring.
The SDM detects low resistance in the passenger seat deployment loop.
• | The SDM sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code. |
• | The SDM flashes the AIR BAG warning lamp. |
All DTCs are cleared with each ignition cycle.
This test checks for a short between the inflatable restraint passenger seat module high and low circuits.
This test determines if the malfunction is caused by the SDM.
This test determines if the malfunction is caused by the inflatable restraint passenger seat module.
