When the ignition is first turned ON, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) performs tests to diagnose critical malfunctions within itself. The SDM then performs the following continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops:
• | Deployment loop voltage out of range test |
• | Deployment loop resistance measurement test |
If the voltage out of range test detects a short to voltage condition, the resistance measurement test for that deployment loop will not be performed.
Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
• | The SDM detects the voltage at driver frontal high is greater than 6 volts for 500 milliseconds. |
• | The SDM detects the voltage at driver frontal high is less than 2.4 volts and driver frontal deployment loop resistance is less than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds. |
• | The SDM disables the driver frontal deployment loop resistance test. |
• | The SDM commands ON the AIR BAG indicator via Class 2 serial data. |
• | The SDM also sets this DTC as current after an accident. The SDM will write the status of this DTC to the "crash log" area of the EEPROM for retrieval. |
• | You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunctions free ignition cycles have occurred. |
When the SDM detects that no DTCs are present, the SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator OFF.
The following can cause an intermittent condition:
• | A short between the driver frontal high and the driver frontal low circuits. |
• | A malfunctioning shorting bar on the inflatable restraint steering wheel module 2-way connector. |
• | A malfunctioning shorting bar on the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil 2-way connector. |
Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
This step inspects the in-line connector below the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil.
Tests for the proper operation of the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil and/or inflatable restraint steering wheel module.
Tests for a short to ground in the driver frontal high deployment circuit.
Tests for a short to ground in the driver frontal low deployment circuit.
Tests for a short to voltage in the driver frontal high deployment circuit.
Tests for a short to voltage in the driver frontal low deployment circuit or if there is a malfunctioning SDM.
